Does anyone know of a video conference module for drupal? I'd like people to have the capability to have face to face meetings cross country, or even do interviews for prospective employees for the company for either virtual positions or to save on airfare costs. That would be the main purpose, but this module could also be used for conferencing, and even chat. I found a commercial application, but I'm not sure how the functionality would work with it on v6.x. Plus, it's kind of pricy.

Maybe a module could be made to integrate with an open source web conferencing server like Dimdim http://sourceforge.net/projects/dimdim/ ? There is currently (some) integration for Moodle and SugarCRM.

All opinions are personal and do not represent anyone but myself.

AVConfrence comes wrapped up as a fully functional Drupal 6 Module: http://avchat.net/avconference/

Actually, it looks like it's only for Drupal 5. From "avchat.net":

AVConference comes with a series of free basic integration kits for several existing platforms:

* Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 Component ( licensed under the GPL, if you installed it and liked it don't forget to rate it in the JED)
* Drupal 5 Module

Maybe I'm missing something, though.... Otherwise, for D6 there is this:

Are you trying to create a video conferencing application using Drupal. If yes, then no need as there are already existing players in market like R-HUB HD video conferencing servers, webex etc. Still if you wish to create, then you can use technologies like C, C++, Flash etc.
