How do i host one way multiperson video conference?

My friend was able to host a video conference with me and him on video, and another person through audio; this was on his g4. I am on a 2.33 ghz Macbook Pro, and I want to host a video conference with two people on audio. Is that possible? I've tried a slew of combinations, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Is it feasable? Thanks.

I think that it was an extremely lucky strike to realise 2way video in combination with a friend who had a mic (audio only) next to his pict. What might have happened that it actually was a 3way video chat and due to bandwidth drop turned out to effectively be a 2AV one only Audio.
So, if you have a multi layered camera in your list, you can video chat with more than one other camera user, and you audio chat with other multi layered mics up to 10 users. But you can't do mixed invitations between them.
How does iChat determine if you are capable of joining or hosting a multiperson chat?
When iChat is opened, it performs a series of tests to determine if multi-person chats are supported with available bandwidth.
iChat also checks the file "com.apple.ichat.plist" in ~/Library/Preferences/ to detemine if defaut values have been set for bwdup and bwddown. It checks to see if the IP address stored in bwdid is the same as the current IP address of the computer, or if the settings are older than three days.
If any of these conditions are not met, iChat performs a .Mac bandwidth detection test to see if .Mac network bandwidth is fast enough to support a multi-way connection.
If the test succeeds, then multi-way chat is enabled.

  • How to configure a one-way L2L IPSec tunnel

    This may be a dumb question, since VPN is for communications between trusted parties and that most people would try to fix a one-way tunnel.
    But I am interested in turning a regular tunnel into one-way only, i.e., only traffic on my side can initiate the tunnel.
    We recently built this tunnel between our ASA5510 and our biz partner's ASA5510 in order to run critical apps on their non-Internet-facing web servers. I want to tie it down so that they can't initiate the VPN. I have the crypto ACL set to limit to a port address so they can only come to us from that port once the tunnel is established. We also have personal firewall installed on each host.
    Any idea on how to make the tunnel one way and also protect us better once the tunnel is up?

    Hi,
    You can use the following command:
    crypto map map-name seq-num set connection-type {answer-only | originate-only | bidirectional}
    This command defines whether the tunnel is originate-only or answer-only. If you set the tunnel on your side to originate-only, the asa will never accept the tunnel setup from your business partner. However, you can still initiate the vpn tunnel setup.
    Check out:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/asa/asa80/command/reference/c5.html#wp2152576
    Although the reference is for ASA8.0 I know it works for 7.2.x as well
    Hope this helps
    Kind regards

  • One way only video on ichat with aim to pc

    I can only get one way video. I have a imac and my friend has a pc. He downloaded aim 6.8 and I also got an aim account. When we try to video conference with ichat he can see me fine but I can't see him. He also has a built in camera. The instant messenger also works fine. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions.
    Terry

    He should go to the AIM Preferences And the Enhanced IM button and select the camera (At least that was what it was in AIM 6.1 and 6.5)

  • IChat SAYS it can multiperson video conference... and that is a LIE!

    I have all the required specifications for a multiperson video chat and I still can't do it.
    MacBook Pro 15" Core-Duo, MacOS 10.4.9, 812kbps DSL, Quicktime streaming settings in 768kbps, iChat bandwith limit set to NONE, trashed iChat preferences that were in the Libary, ran Cocktail more than once, repaired Disk permissions using Disk Utility... I have tried all this... is there anything else I can do?
    Please help me....

    Hi Nelly,
    I have an 8Mb download with 400 up hare and I can Video whilst my son plays on-line with his X-Box 360
    You may need to look further into how your network at home is set up (AIM for one DHCP server) or what the ISP is giving you and possibly what is so intensive on the other devices/computers

    I want to understand how lyncs works, when I made video conferences with someone in my same building, if my call go to to server and then go to the person I´m calling.
    Or if Lync realizes that we are in the same building so it never leaves, so it don’t generate traffic. My concern is the bandwidth consumption.
    Please a I need the information.

  • How can I disconnect one caller from a conference call?

    I am not able to disconnect one call from a conference call. I have tried everything and do not wish to end both calls, just one.

        I'd love to clarify this information bdgooden. Unfortunately, your only option is to disconnect all lines. The other parties on the phone call can disconnect the line to end the call, but you only have the option of disconnecting all calls or waiting for the other party to end.
    Thank you,

  • How to do a one-way synchronize (blast address boo...

    I have a 6126 phone that I have sync'd with PC Suite before.  I'd like to over-write the address book info currently stored on the phone with the master of that address book stored on my PC (essentially doing a PC-->phone copy, rather than a PC Suite / Synchronize).  How would I do that?

    If I:
    Go to the green/blue yin/yang symbol (the sync icon) near the windows clock
    Right Slick, Phone Selector, Select the phone to sync
    Right Click, Settings, Go through the wizard
    At the end of the wizard, step 5/5 click the Spanner icon
    In the DIRECTION tab, you can choose the sync direction

  • HT1386 How do you sync only one way?

    I want to know how to sync only one way because there are some photos from our previous apple devices and I don't want those photos to appear onto my new one when I sync to put the photos or videos onto the computer. Does anyone know how to do it without messing up the system?

    The photos are now on your computer and you don't want them on your new iPad?
    Then move this photos on your computer to another location (folder) first and then sync.

  • One-Way Video (Presentation Mode) iChat Capability?

    Does iChat allow for a one-way only video connection from my web camera to other iChat user even though they have a web camera? Some users are shy about video chatting, or I may want to be in a presentation only mode.

    For the points
    They may also want to turn Off the option in the View Menu that Read s "Show Video Status"
    This has partial control over the camera.
    It changes the Icons (If Show Audio is left ticked) to Audio Status icons.
    They then cannot Start Videos from a one click on the green Audio icon. (They can still Right click a Buddy or use the Buddies menu).
    Turning Off the Camera Enabled items does not hide the Video Status icon they see but setting the above as well can be a reminder the camera is Off.

  • IChat for just one way purposes?

    Do you have to have a video conference while you want to webcam in iChat? I want to webcam with my friend but she doesn't have a webcam or iChat (she's on AIM), and she's not on an Apple computer, she's on Windows. Is there a way I can still connect with her so she can hear and see me from my iSight without her having to have a webcam or anything like that? I hope this makes sense :\ Any help would be nice.

  • One way SMS + OTP in Azure MFA server

    Hi, how can i enable one way SMS in Azure MFA on premise?
    I have Azure MFA server and local active diretcory. I want users to receive a OTP and enter it to the logon page instead of replying to it? how can this be done? and if it is via the SDK, any one can explain more
    ammarhasayen

    MFA Server v6.2.2 and older doesn't have one-way SMS capability. It is being added to v6.3 which is expected to release in Jan 2015. The one-way SMS will work with the ADFS Adapter, RADIUS and the User Portal. In order to work successfully with RADIUS,
    the system sending the ACCESS request will need to be able to handle an ACCESS CHALLENGE response so that the user can be prompted for the OTP.

  • One Way Sync - OCS to PDA only

    Was wondering how I can accomplish one way sync to "PDA only" so that users cannot overwrite calendar on server.

    (1) Setting the replace all existing will wipe out my entire calendar of the phone and replace it with what is in Outlook.
    Correct.
    (2) By selecting "syncing" calendar events, will sync the events between Outlook and the iPhone.
    Correct.
    What happens about the events I have placed onto the phone (after that initial sync)? Won't they get synced to Outlook?
    Yes, which is the definition of syncing.
    I want the sync to always be one-way...only from Outlook to the iPhone.
    Not possible. If this is what you want, then don't sync calendar events or only enter calendar events with Outlook.
    Contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks (if selected to be synced with the supported applications on your computer) is a bidirectional or true sync process with the supported applications on your computer. There is no setting to transfer calendar events from the iPhone to the supported application on your computer only or vice-versa or to not be synchronized.

  • One-Way sync from Palm to iBook?

    Wiped my address book with a crashed sync, but the data remains on my Palm device (Treo 650). Anyone know how to setup a one-way sync from the Treo back into the iBook? Thanks, M

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You should first try to correct the problem by dragging the AddressBook.data file out of your Address Book folder at the end of this path:
    Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Address Book
    Duplicate the AddressBook.data.previous file, and rename it simple AddressBook.data and launch the application to see if it can recover your files.
    If not, you should understand that there is no easy, quick, painless way to achieve what you want - moving a copy of your handheld data to your Macintosh.
    You can restore synchronization to the Palm Desktop, by moving the Apple conduit out of the active Conduits folder, and by moving the following disabled Palm conduits out of the Disabled Conduits folder and back into the active one:
    • Address Conduit
    • Calendar Conduit
    • Contacts Conduit
    • Datebook Conduit
    • Tasks Conduit
    • ToDo Conduit
    (Only one of each conduit pair is used by your Treo 650, but these instructions would also apply to users of the older conduits.)
    By setting each conduit to Handheld overwrites Macintosh, you will transfer the data on your smartphone to the Palm Desktop, overwriting any existing records by doing so.
    You can then export contact data as a vCard file and calendaring data as a vCal file but, here's a problem: you cannot export task or to do data, so in this process, you will lose all of the to do items in iCal. Once you have exported the Palm Desktop data in vCard and vCal format, you can import the contents of each file into the Address Book and iCal, remembering that your vCal file contains only event—and not to do—data.
    You can then return the Palm conduits to the Disabled Conduits folder and the iSync Palm Conduit to the active one, and synchronize once again with iSync, choosing to overwrite the contents of your handheld with the data from the Address Book and iCal. Once again, say goodbye to your to do records. You do this by removing your device from iSync and adding it back prior to the next synchronization, causing the framework to act as if you have never synchronized before. Choose Replace (and not Merge) to avoid data duplication errors.
    Do you see why periodically backing up Address Book and iCal data is so important? To do so, just select the Back up Address Book in the Address Book or the Back up Database option in iCal.
