  4. Of course it can do videoconferencing by Rams�s+Morales · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Can Linux do Video Conferencing?

    You should use the mbone tools like sdr, vic, vat, rat.

    You can get them all in the IP Multicast tools SHRIMP distribution.

    I have been using them for about a year, and its way better than NetMeeting, because its multicast. Your network will be happier with multicast traffic, because it is greatly more efficient than point-to-point and you can do a videoconference between a lot of people at the same time, not just two people. With non-multicast tools, if you want to do videoconference with multiple people, you have to get a special server, "reflector", with lot of power.
