XCCC: Video Conferencing Does Not Work on Non-Intel Platforms (263948)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server
This article was previously published under Q263948

SUMMARY

Video conferencing does not work if your client is running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Server installed on Alpha, PPC, or MIPS platforms.

MORE INFORMATION

Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server offers multi-person, continuous presence video conferencing to clients. To provide these features, Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server makes use of the TAPI 3.0 and IP Multicast features that are integral to Windows 2000. The ActiveX control that supports multicast was written specifically for Windows 2000 and because Windows 2000 does not run on non-Intel platforms, the ActiveX control was written only for Intel-based systems. Support for the H323 protocol was later added to allow legacy systems, such as Windows NT, to participate in video conferencing. However, because the ActiveX control was written solely for Intel-based systems, video conferencing does not work on computers running Windows NT on Alpha, PPC, or MIPS platforms.
