QuestionNeed a little help using VB.NET and ConferenceXP

    Hi,

     

    I'm a newbe in programming with VB.NET using ConferenceXP APIs.

     

    Is there a possibility to get the number of users connected to a virtual conferenceroom (Venue) programmed in VB.NET.

    To get all the available conferencerooms isn't the problem, but how can I see, who is connected to every room without entering this room?

    This will be interesting to see, how many users are connected in every room before enteriing the room or to see whether the room is free or used.

    The other point is to check, how  frequently the conferencerooms are used.

     

    Hope, there are some helpfull programmers, who can help me (or show me the direction) with my task.

    Lausi,

    Venue Service is a web service.  In particular, it is stateless (which I believe most web services are).  It simply provides a multicast IP address for conference participants to join.  There are only 2 ways to get the data you want - join each venue separately to monitor the RTCP data, or add some kind of reporting back-channel to find out who is in what venue. 

    We have never really found it worth the effort, because in general you enter a venue for a specific purpose. You don't just hop around from conference to conference looking for the one that has the most people in it.  It isn't a chat room.
