Federated webinars for eduMEET
Extended platform for distributed online webinars basing on eduMEET
The main aim of the project is a new functional scope of eduMEET: federated webinars for big online meetings. eduMEET is a free and open-source video conferencing (VC) application that allows organisations of any size to build and deploy cost-effective on-premises web-based VC services. It is an easy-to-use solution that originated within the European Research and Education community. It is focused on security and privacy, and designed to give full control and ownership of ones own data and video streams.
A key aspect of the project is providing efficient engines for communication between distributed eduMEET instances, in order to provide support for large scale webinars. Additionally, eduMEET will add dedicated layout for webinars (speaker’s view), specific user roles and privileges (Panelist and Passive Participant) as well as a management module. The end result will be a full featured webinar platform that is an attractive low cost alternative to expensive proprietary services.
