About

Ekiga (formerly known as GnomeMeeting) is an open source SoftPhone, Video Conferencing and Instant Messenger application over the Internet. It supports HD sound quality and video up to DVD size and quality. Because it uses both of the major telephony standards (SIP and H.323), it is interoperable with many service providers and many types of hardware and software. Ekiga was first released back in 2001 under the GnomeMeeting name, as a graduation thesis. In 2001, voice over IP, IP Telephony, and videoconferencing were not widespread technologies as they are now. The GNU/Linux desktop was at its infancy, and let's not speak about multimedia capabilities. Most webcam drivers were buggy, ALSA had not been released yet and full-duplex audio was something difficult to achieve. General performance could also be an issue, especially when most efficient codecs were closed source. Generally speaking, the technology was not ready yet but Ekiga was already kicking!

Creates some interfaces that other programs can detect and interact with as if they were real webcam hardware, creating fake device nodes. Creating a virtual webcam may involve in most cases very low-level system access, and that depends on how much the operating system allows software developers to have access to the lower level. Webcamoid gives to option to use either akvcam or v4l2loopback as the virtual camera driver, akvcam is the preferred driver which offers more options and compatibility.
