Subject: Re: Video conference/conferencing [Scanned]
We have been looking at this as well - we've trialled Google Hangouts over a 20Mb connection and using the in-built option to 'broadcast' live to YouTube. The results have not been great, with a 2-3 minute delay on the YT live feed and very jerky framerate.
