At the same time on network from each of participants video a flow with the resolution from 480x360 and more is transferred.

As names of subscribers in a system the normal e-mail addresses (e-mail) are used that naturally does your network by convenient means for internal communications. Integration with service Microsoft Active Directory or any other, working under the LDAP protocol, and also existence of means of grouping of users will allow network administrators flexibly and to manage quickly users.
