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.
