Name

gnomemeeting - H.323 Videoconferencing for UN*X

Synopsis

gnomemeeting [-d level] [-c URL]

Description

GnomeMeeting is a H.323 Voip, Telephony and Video Conferencing application which uses the H.323 protocol (provided by the OpenH323 library). It can connect to a variety of other H323 applications including Microsoft NetMeeting. It also supports ILS (the Microsoft version of LDAP) servers. GnomeMeeting can work with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or traditionnal audio+video communications. GnomeMeeting has been designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure almost every option from within the GUI. Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging during calls. -c to call another URL.

Options

-d: turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1 and 4.
-c: Calls the given URL. GnomeMeeting can be running or not when invoking that option. H.323 and CALLTO URLs are supported.

Files

/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnomemeeting/

The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on your system's configuration)

~/.gconf/apps/gnomemeeting

Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details.

Environment

On startup GnomeMeeting reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by GnomeMeeting.
