Video Conferencing in Viper Room
Viper Room on the GlobalIPVideo.com site allows for up to 4 people to have a video conference (soon to be expanded to 8 or more.) It is in “pre-alpha”, which means it is experimental, but it seems to work well.
If you’ve got a video camera attached to your computer, click “Allow” on the permission dialog and you should be able to see yourself – and anyone else that is in the “room” at the same time. You can use your microphone as well (hold down the speaker icon in the top right corner).
Viper Room has a lot of interesting possibilities for e-learning.
Update: This will probably not work behind a corporate firewall.

I have read this post. This is very much true. Even I own a blog account on video conferencing. Video conferencing is indeed a great innovation in technology and communications. One day video conferencing will be like an ordinary house-hold item in the next 5-10 years.I will mention your post in my blog.

The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.
