Hello,

generally an ADSL connection is more than enough for one GnomeMeeting
client.

It depends on the codec you use (I suggest speex for audio because it
needs very few bandwidth) and on the pictures/second your webcam sends.
Please check your configuration of video and have a look at the
supported audio codecs (preferences).

The second question was if there is a tool to control the bandwidth of
an application. Yes, there are some patches/tools to control your
bandwidth, but that definitely depends on your OS. Which OS do you use?

Cheers,
Matthias
