Hi All,<br><br>I often use webconferencing tools as part of my job, to view customers desktops and sometimes take control etc. All the tools ive used so far like "webex" and "teamviewer" run only on Windows, even our own webconferencing tools within the company I work only runs on IE as it uses active X controls.<br>
<br>I know VNC is useful but the problem here that often the customers are on their own internal networks and myself likewise am operating from within my company's network so only regular ports like port 80 are open and also our machines will have private IPs<br>
<br>So Im wondering if anyone use a web-based conferencing tool that works on linux and is free? I have used some that work purely on java so they worked fine on Linux and Windows alike but these were still subscription based services that the customers companies paid for.<br>
<br>I guess im hoping for too much? :-)<br><br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You might want to look at Yuuguu[1], who provide cross-platform conferencing and screen sharing at a reasonable price.</div><div><br></div>
<div>If you want to run your own solution have a look at Ignite Realtime[2], which provides messaging and realtime collaboration servers. There's also Echoserver[3] for desktop sharing.</div><div><br></div><div>1. <a href="http://www.yuuguu.com">www.yuuguu.com</a></div>
