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 appli-
cation 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 web-
cam, 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. Com-
mand-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 depend-
ing 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.
