Hi,

I'm newbie in the Windows Media Server and it's not very clear for me if it's possible to implement the video conference over Internet behaviour. Let's say there is a number of users and everyone can start a video session (push a stream to WMS), other users can connect to a newly created publishing point and in turn can start own video sessions (create new publishing points) which is accessible by others.

It seems that this is possible but there are some security restrictions like write and DCOM access to the server and I doubt that public servers grant these accesses through Internet.

I develop own software which will implement the conferencing and would like to know if WMS will fit my needs, basically I need the ability to start broadcasting from any PC connected to Internet.

Thanks in advance,
Roman

Hi Roman,
I'm also fairly new to this, but have just implemented a system
for an educational institute. I don't think that the latency
properties of WMS makes it appropriate for use as the
backbone for a Videoconferencing system.

The system I put together has around a 40 second delay, this would
translate to 80 seconds for a duplex conference!!
I believe that it is possible to tweak WMS to reduce this time...
(there's plenty of info on that in this list I think) others may have
more specific info on best possible results.

regards
Mark
