It is similar like Instant Messaging but not can used like Skype or AOL, etc. Video and voice comes as real-time and faster than in Skype becase video and voice quality is lower but still high quality.
I'm planing to make this useful for Webniars where admins can view Power Point like presentations to users and users can see admin face and voice who keeps webniar.

Hi! I have been testing the plugin but I have a couple of questi...Hi!
I have been testing the plugin but I have a couple of questions:
- I have downloaded and installed the video conference plugin and I have defined a page in one space with this code (in WikiMark language): [videoConference|^FlexVideoMain.swf]
Of course, I have attached the FlexVideoMain.swf file to the page. This just is what I have to do in order the plugin works properly, isn't it?
- Anyway, when I click in the videoConference link, a new window appears (like the second screenshot) and ask me for a name, so, I write a name (I have tested with a name like "qwerty" or "aaabbb" and with the name of one of the users in Confluence) and then, a new window apears and says " Restricted usage The number of users has been limited for this demo, please try again in a few minutes" And my question is: what is going wrong? Is a problem of licenses?
Thanks in advance
Antonio

Did you but main.asc to right folder.
Flash Media Server 2 Developer Edition License allows only 5 users at same time. Commercial license allows 1500 if remember correct.
I have no this problem but some how some bug in swf or main.ac file tells to Flash Media Server that there is 5 users or more.
You don't need anything else than write macros
{flex-video-main}
This put height to 600
{flex-video-main:600}
User limit is set on main.asc file and must be in Flash Media Server's applications folder in subfolder flex_videoconference
I'm working now Red5 Flash Server version but that is bit of hard to install.

Thank you very much for everything. As you said to me, there was a problem in the main.asc file but I have checked it and now it is working!
.
I have just done the first tests and I'm surprised: I think you have done a very great work. Congratulations!
Anyway, I would like to ask you a new question: I have configured the webcam to use a middle resolution quality (640x480, but I can get up to 1280x960) but the message "Video Quality is set really low not to use up all brandwidth" appears in the page where I am testing the plugin. Is there any other macro or any parameter or whatelse that I should write in the macro to get more video quality? Actually I'm using "flex-video-main:320" because it is enough for me. Is there a "user guide" or something like that where you have explained all the options or paremeters of the macro?
Again, thank you very much.
Regards
Antonio

You can count if Video Quality is 500 kbit/s just count how many bytes is 500 kbit then count how many magabytes it makes in hour and think if there is 5 users who keeps 5 hours meeting everyday. With many users this will cause a many Gigabytes data transfers if meetings is long.. with thousands it will be in Terabytes if Video Quality is high..

I tested now Red5 Flash Server Final Release and that was good.
So.. I going now to do Red5 version with live webcam support and chat and possible desktop sharing support.
I am tested all these and they all is possible even record your face, desktop or keep realtime TV from Formula 1 racing.
Red5 makes that possible you don't need pay expensive Adobe FMS 2 or 3 just for chat with some Friands because FMS is for some bigger production use and developmet use is only for testing and making some apps..

Great work on this plugin! I just have one problem. I can see myself, but once a second person connects it does not show their video, just a blank screen.

I have one code but there is no install manual now where that I can understand.
Directly there is no told that does it need its own Tomcat, which JVM version and there is just told you must build your ANT to Tomcat??? Red5 it self is easy to install and are Open Source Standalone software.
There was some other but its Source Code was Share alike Non-commercial Use only Creative Commons so it is not compatible with Confluence.

Where in the source code can you increase the quality?

Regarding the Video Conference Plugin, am I supposed to install Flash Media Server 2 on the server that is hosting Confluence (hence the "Server" part of Flash media Server name)? Or, do all clients using confluence need Flash Media Server 2 installed? I'm not exactly sure how this is supposed to work, but I need this plugin to work on Macs, linux machines, and of course Windows boxes as well. From what I've read, it looks like I am supposed to install Flash Media Server 2 on the Server hosting confluence and Adobe Flash Player 9 on all clients using confluence? Thanks again!
