CUCM6 : VideoTelephony with 3 users: is it possible?

[connect101]

Hi,

Is it possible to do a 3 conferencing using a CUCM ?

i.e after calling one person, I call another person using the conference adhoc and both will be in conference with me.

thks.

No, it is not possible the conference will be done but only with audio and no video.

For Video-Conference you need to have the MCU to join the 3 video streams.

Hi, do you know if there is any way I can test the MCU? Is there some kind of emulator/simulator available?

You might try Stonevoice's software MCU. I have never used it but I have heard good things about thier products. I believe it is going to integrate to CCM via h323 so you won't be able to use ad-hoc style conferencing (IE - pressing the Conf button on the phone). More than likely you will have to have all of your endpoints dial a number to be connected to the MCU.

Hope this helps.
