Is Facetime capable of Video conference calls with 3 or more?

Is Facetime capable of Video conference calls with 3 or more?
Thats all I need to know.. that and how to go about doing it.
Skype can apparently do it.. and so Mac MUST be able to do it... better .. um.. right?

Facetime does not have this capability.  However Skype does.

  • Three-way video conference MAC with AIM

    Are you able to do a three-way video conference with 2 users with AIM accounts with one who has MAC accounts?
    The person with the MAC account shows up not stacked to indicate multi-video conference.
    Just Wondering

    Hi DB in NB,
    It depends on...
    Are they all using iChat 3
    Do they have an Internet connection in excess of 384kbps both up and down ?
    (there are some variants if the download is quicker that will allow you to have 256K up)
    Do they have a Mac over a G4/1Ghz single processor
    Is the one to be the Host a G4/1Gz Dual or greater ?
    If they all fill this criteria and one does not show stacked icons then it needs some maintenance.
    They should make sure the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is set to 1.5Mbps
    They should run the Cron scripts if they are not sure

  • Can MeetingPlace Express make conference calls with just meeting ID and meeting password?

    Hi,
    We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2. It is working fine and everything but we need to change the way it works.
    For audio only conference calls, we need the users to be able to initiate meetings without having to enter their profile ID and profile password.
    For example when a caller dials the MPE number and presses 1 to start a meeting, he has to enter his PIN code to be authorized to start a meeting, we want to exclude this feature, so that any one who dials the number and wants to start a meeting, he will get a meeting ID and meeting password directly.
    Is this possible in MPE 2 ? Appreciate your help please, thanks in advance.

    I poked around a system I have nearby and can't find a setting that is an obvious choice for this one. I experience the same behavior at the 30 minute mark.
    One alternate approach you may try is called a continuous meeting. The viability of this approach depends on how this is being used:
    This likely will NOT work if you have lazy users who can't manage their time.
    The reason is a continuous meeting always consumes the licenses for itself, even if there are not participants currently in it.
    This may work if you have defined groups of users who repeatedly meet as a group in an ongoing manner.
    A continuous meeting is a scheduled meeting that reserves ports and a meeting ID indefinitely, so that
    participants may join the meeting at any time on any day. Nevertheless, a continuous meeting is in
    session only when at least one participant is in the meeting.
    I searched high-and-low for documentation on this and the only two items that I can turn up are these:
    http://www.ciscosystems.org/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace_express/1_1/english/administration/guide/bagmtgs.pdf (page five)
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Express,_Release_2.x_--_How_to_Configure_Scheduled_and_Reservationless_Meetings#Enabling_Users_to_Schedule_Continuous_Meetings
    One downer though: I cannot get the Continuous option to appear on my MPE 2.1.1.2 hotfix 36 (last release) system. Either I'm missing an option myself or something is wrong in this version.

  • Audio Video Conference application with JMF

    hi there!
    I am developing an "Audio Video Conference application". so far I've been able to develop an applicaiton which opens an RTP Player on the client side, now my purpose is to enhance the functionality of RTP player by adding various functions like "Quit", "Pause" etc. I am looking for more options for enhancing the functionality of the RTP player in order to make it more user friendly for example I've been able to find the method for quiting from the player which is "KillThePlayer()" it is found in the class "PlayerWindow".
    java.lang.Object
    |
    --java.awt.Component
    |
    --java.awt.Container
    |
    --java.awt.Window
    |
    --java.awt.Frame
    |
    --com.sun.media.ui.PlayerWindow
    |
    --RTPPlayerWindow
    Please suggest me some of the classes and methods where I can find the method(s) for "Pausing the player" by which the player stops recieveing data and when un-paused it again starts recieveing, and also suggest me more functions to add to the RTP player so as to make it more user friendly.

    hi!
    thanx, I appreciate your interest! i know i am hitting the wrong forum but i have also posted my query in the JMF forum, i waited for long but unfortunately there was no reply posted to my request, so i just thought why not to try on some other relevant forums.
    if there is any sort of refernce available to my topic please help me.
    thanx for your help,
    bbye!

  • FaceTime always fails on outgoing calls with my MacBook Pro. Is there some way I can fix it?

    Have I accidentally disabled a connectivity preference that subsequently disabled FaceTime? My connection is great, so that must be out of the question. I have tried calling it from another Mac and from an iPhone, but only then does it cooperate. I don't want to downgrade the FaceTime that came with my MacBook, so can someone help me out?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Hosting Video Conference Calls over the Internet using a IP/VC 3540

    A client wants to use his 3540 with 30 session MCU and rate matching card to host Video Calls consisting of participants both on his local LAN/WAN and participants coming in from across the Internet. Cisco's IP/VC design guide does not specifically address a situation like this so I am at a loss. Can someone point me in the right direction ? I am at a loss.

    This is something that can be done. A couple considerations that need to be looked into are where the MCU and Gatekeeper are going to reside on the network. If you place the MCU and GK behind a firewall to be protected from the Internet, then you may need to open up ports on the firewall to allow for registration to the GK and calls to the MCU to happen. The MCU or GK could also be placed in a DMZ, or just the GK with the MCU placed behind a firewall completely. As you can see there are a few choices here but it is doable.

  • One-way video for conference call?!

    My place of work is looking for a way to have a one-way video conference call. So one person (administrator) would be seen by all on the conference call. (No need to see othe participants). If this is possible, how many people can be on the conference call? 25?
    If it's not possible, anyone no of any web conferencing programs that have something with this capability?
    Many thanks.

    You should be able to call them normally (p2p or group) then enable your webcam for them to see you.  If the people you are calling are incapable of viewing a video stream due to their computer's processor (non SSE2 or non-video capable mobile processor) or because they have an older Skype client, then video could be disabled for the group call.  Not having a webcam would not be the main issue.  Also if you are standard phone calling them in the group there would be no way for them to see you either.

  • Want to try video Conference

    Hi.. what do i need to implement video conference/call? i want the cheapest solution first such soft phone version and etc... and how much bandwidth consumed. does cisco use sccp ,sip or h323 to implement video conference? tx for answer... ;)

    If you want to try just a video call (2 party only) you can do this with either CallManager or CallManager Express, a couple of SCCP IP Phones, a couple of CVTA USB video cameras, and the CVTA software on your PC. Many 3rd party USB cameras will work as well, but YMMV. A 384K video call consists of 64K G.711 audio and the remaining 320K used by the video codec.

  • Number of concurrent a/v conference calls, and its bandwidth consumed.

    I have two central sites and multiple branch sites. Each central site has one Front End pool. we are planning to replace Lync 2013 servers for hosting meetings, conferences ( audio, video and web)
    My manager wants to know the number of concurrent audio/Video conference calls that our Lync Front End pools can handle and the bandwidth consumed by these calls. Can anyone here help with this or point me to where to find the right tool. I have tried using
    Bandwidth calculator, it was not working well for me. 

    For Audio, assuming G722 (without FEC) it will be about 96Kbps per stream. So in theory that would be
    over 1000 calls on 100Mb, however that doesn't take into account any other traffic that would be on the link.
    For H.264 Video it can be anywhere up to 4000Kbps (HD), but it's unlikely that all your end points would be running 1920x1080 resolution and they will all negotiate differently. So without knowing a lot about your environment I would say on average (which
    is just that between min to max around 50 video streams) or 128-250 streams at lower resolutions - so traffic through phones and slow connections (320x180-16:9/ 212x160-4:3 to 640x360-16:9/640x480-4:3) and
    25-50 streams at the higher resolutions. So HD cameras and rooms systems, etc. Once again not taking into account other things on the network.
    With regards to the pool themselves,  follow the hardware specifications required which you can check using the capacity planning tool http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828 the
    supported maximum however for a large conference on a single pool is 250 participants.
    As I mentioned it's almost impossible to give definitive numbers because there are so many variables, but hopefully this helps a little.

  • Group/conference call - limited to 3 contacts?

    Hi there,
    I have a LG 60PB6600 with a LG - AN-VC500 webcam. Both work great for making regular video and voice-only calls. 
    I recently tried to make a conference call with more than 4 contacts (including myself). To my dissapointment, Skype seems to have forcefully limited me to adding 3 other contacts. Within Skype, I click on the 'Conference Call', a menu appears with all my contacts of whom I can select. After selecting 3 contacts the remaining contacts grey out, not allowing me to select anymore. Is there anything I can do to add more contacts, or is this just something I am going to have to 'live with'?
    cheers
    David

    At worst, you can always use the "Notes" field ...
    I know you can set Work, Home and Other emails.  I personally have never tried more than one "Other" per contact, but I did think this was possible.

  • DX-650 Video Conference

    Hello all,
    How many participants can join video conference call in DX-650 with CUCM 10 ?
    Regards,

    The phone is independent of this, the DX650 is just another fancier endpoint, the number of participants in a conference depends on what type of conferencing resources the system uses, and what it is defined to allow. This is the same concept for all phone models.
