A really stupid and ignorant question
Dear community!
My entire experience of OM consists of the installation of OM 2.1 on my Win8-machine following Stephen Cottham's excellent guide.
Now I have a stupid question:
If I am running the server, do the participants I invite to a video conference also need to have the server installed? Is there any way for participant to connect with some simple steps - i.e. something like "install flash and you're good to go" or "download and run this msi-installer to install the client software"?
Regards
/D

Wait an eternity for it to load and the then register to login

That error pops up in groups a lot. Have you googled it?

Opening both 1935 and 8088 was required, and now it works (when the participant is not behind his own firewall). Yay!!
I shall try changing the ports.
Thanks again for swift replies!!

you can configure Apache as proxy
or change red5 ports to be (80 and 443) instead of (5080 and 1935)

Ah! I just opened 5080!
Hm, that also means the participants have to be let out through their respective firewalls...

Aha!
I tried that from another computer but got "error missing [205]", and 556 and 642.
I suppose something is wrong with my install then?

Re: A really stupid and ignorant question

you just need to send the URL to the participants (Using Room->Send
Invitation for example, please ensure you have accessed you server using
external address before sending)
Or just http://external_address_of_your_server:5080/openmeetings
