What's the largest meeting you've run
Hey,
I'm new to OpenMeetings, seems great. But I haven't pushed the system.
If you would...
1. What's your largest meeting?
2. Webinar or Interactive Meeting?
3. Rough or Avg Video Settings?
4. Server size, rough?
5. How long?
Thanks,
Jon

So happy to report,
It was Windows 7 Firewall turned on inside a trusted network. They had
said it was off, but it wasn't. Works perfectly.
Thanks for the sounding board,
-Jon

Hi Jon,
the 2 second delay is latency, you can't compare Skype audio conferences as
this needs much less bandwidth compared to Flash conferencing.
You should watch your network throughput while conferencing, it might be a
bottleneck somewhere betwee:
You <=> OpenMeetings server <=> Participant
The "<=>" can be either an upload OR download bottleneck as the data always
is processed in both directions.

Re: AW: What's the largest meeting you've run

Hi All,
That's super, just the news I was hoping for. I've just installed this
at my first client. They're a small company with four offices across
the US, and would like to use this for company meetings. They've also
expressed and interest to do some sales webinars with their customers to
share new product info. Maybe you should write that up for your
website, it helped me.
So far, it works great... I have one glitch where a person is delayed in
the conversation, about 2 seconds behind. At first, I suspected their
older VPN connection they were all surfing through. But then a Skype
call worked without delay, so that didn't make much sense. So, I no
longer think it's a latency issue on the VPN network, my next step is to
check out the offending client, his Flash Player version, and any
Anti-Virus/Firewall software he may have.
Any clues to a 2 second delay, and what's interesting, it might be only
downstream, because I hear my own voice in the remote computer's
speakers (although I was wearing a headset, he couldn't hear his own
voice, delayed)
Any offending software on WinXP or Win7 that causes problems?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: AW: What's the largest meeting you've run

Hi,
we have done tests with 120 people in conferene room type "restricted".
With 2-3 presenters audio/video + screensharing. There was no possibility
to test with more users as we had no more ressources / computers available.
Additionally we have done tests with a customer that runs webinars 250
people in a single room, roomtype "retricted". Customers could fill a
feedback form after the webinar with a section for techincal problems.
Result was, that some users did report they had issues in loading the
initial slide of the conference room.
That started when there was more then 200 people arriving at the same
second/minute in the restricted room.
So the results so far are that restricted room type can handle max 150
users, the bottleneck as result of the tests are:
1) As the others explained, your hadrware and server bandwidth of course
2) At some point the number of users arriving at the same second in the
conference room, so you should not invite 10.000 people for 9.00 p.m. in
the conference room, as if 1000 people at _exactly_ 9.00 and 0 seconds
click on the conference room this can lead to a problem
3) There are no test results available for more then 250 people, so far
there have been no technical reason to say "more then 250 people is not
possible" but just because there has been no test with more then 250
physical browser windows loggedin into a single conference room.
4) The roomtype desigend for large meetings is room type "restricted" it
has a special implementation of the user list that buffers incoming users
before re-rendering the user-list to prevent the problems with the 50 or
100 users arriving at the same time. Also the user-list type is different
as it uses some paging mechanism to only render the visible area. Roomtype
"conference" and "audience" do not have those optimizations.

AW: AW: What's the largest meeting you've run
Posted by Norbert Haag <no...@noahidenations.com>.
Hi Jon,
We are starting with openmeetings and therefore cannot come up with "real
life" experiences so far. However, we tested the system and from a technical
perspective it doesn't prevent you from having 100 or more attendees.
The challenge with such amounts of attendees is not the system and even not
really the hardware -though a dedicated server with at least 8G is
preferred- but the bandwidth you have.
Bandwidth here means the bandwidth the server has, as it has to stream the
data to each attendee. This is the biggest bottleneck in the whole process
and not the system or even the hardware.

Hi Norbert,
It means... in non-technical terms, who's holding meetings, how many
people...
Real examples.
For instance... My name is Fred, I hold weekly web-seminars or webinars with
over 100 people, it works great.
Who is using this? Share an anonymous story of how it's going. Don't
worry, you don't have to prove it, you're not on the hook.
I have a server with unlimited bandwidth on a meter, and 8G of RAM on a 4
processor CPU, with 64bit Ubuntu LTS Lucid, anybody have something close to
tell me what I can expect.

Hey,
I'm new to OpenMeetings, seems great. But I haven't pushed the system.
If you would...
1. What's your largest meeting?
What can your werver handle= (bandwith etc.)
2. Webinar or Interactive Meeting?
Uhm what do you mean by webinars?
3. Rough or Avg Video Settings?
? If that means how big a video you can send, the answer is depends on you
upload bandwidth (means is not an issue of openmeeetings but your capability
to feed=
4. Server size, rough?
Depends on what you want. But do not start below 2 GB of dedicated space
(unless recoding is nothing you want to do=
5. How long?
How long what?
Thanks,
Jon
