[GnomeMeeting-list] Re:GnomeMeeting-list Digest, Vol 20, Issue 43

[Simon West <swest kerridge com>]

Many thanks to Damien, I now have a working Gnomemeeting system which connects to Netmeeting and sends my static picture...
but now to the real problem: I need to use this setup to send the static picture to a Polycom MGC, to use as a "splash screen" for video conferences. It all seems to work, except that the Polycom manager reports that the Gnomemeeting system is only "partially connected" with no video. Gnomemeeting seems to show video connected, but I only get a blank display for received video.

Does anyone have any experience of this, or failling that a way to diagnose what is going wrong with the connection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards and a very merry Christmas

Simon West
