Re: [GnomeMeeting-list]speed and quality

Could you all send screenshots of what you call awful quality ?
Please send your settings located in the Video Codecs options too...

Are you talking about the quality that you receive from Netmeeting or

Please answer to those questions, it will help. Thanks a lot.
