How to join live presentations on Internet with Linux box

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Fedora Core 3

I'm prepared to join a live presentations via Internet. The company holding the presentations requires participants equipped with live phone connection. They also require M$Windows Media player and Livemeeting to join the presentations.

I haven't had a M$Windows box with those software running. Please advise would it be possible to join the presentations with a Linux box? TIA

I don't think you *need* mplayer.... i think the video appears in gnomemeeting (I can't say for sure, I have never used it)

Hi Vergil83,

Tks for your URL.

Gnomemeeting can communicate with "netmeeting" on M$Windows but I have no idea whether it can work with "livemeeting".
