Video Conferencing News & Articles

Google recently announced a much-anticipated addition to the Google Talk service. In addition to being able to sent text instant messages from within the Google Mail system, users can now conduct voice and video chats — all from within the browser.

After users download a Google-provided plugin, they will see “Video and More” in the conventional chat window. Other IM systems, such as MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Chat, have had voice/video capabilities, but Google just added the feature. However, is this product a “Skype killer” like some are saying?

Accordent Technologies has released an expanded version of its Accordent Media Management System to include support for TANDBERG video conferencing systems and Flash presentations.

Media Management System is a centralized CMS framework for managing multimedia assets like streaming video and audio, video presentations, lectures, and webcasts.

Features are roughly what you would expect from traditional Enterprise CMS products - content management portal, user authentication and tracking, workflow functionality and so forth, except for two key differences.

The first is, obviously enough, that this CMS is specifically designed for managing multimedia.
