How to add an applet in a portal page??

Question

I need to add an applet in a page. Should I create an applet portlet, or should I use it with the typical way by calling it from an html file? Any suggestions??? Please help. It's important. I have an applet which is a video conference application and I need to use it from my portal. But I'll need to add some more applets but I cant find the way.
Best Regards,
