It's cool when you have your own video chat over the local network. How do you think? It is similar to Skype (which works over the internet) but is only intended for use on a local network. If you have a LAN at home or at work and you need to chat with a person in real time, this program is ideal.

The video chat over the local network is called FACT –Video Conferencing Tool and you can download it. I think every user will appreciate the speed and quality of the video chat.

Also FACT –Video Conferencing Tool does not require installation on the server, you just need to install the program on computers and it is ready to use, it is also possible to use text chat in the program.

The above was the pros, but I will talk about the cons as well. First, there is no support for the Russian language. Secondly, communication in the conference mode is not provided. That is, if you want to talk to several interlocutors at once, nothing will come of it. There are also some problems with codecs. For example, everything worked fine for me, but my interlocutor did not see me on his computer.

Let's get down to installing the program. I'll tell you a little about how to use it.

Installing FACT - Video Conferencing Tool

After launch installation file, the "welcome" window will open, click on the "Next" button.

A window will open where we enter our data. The field "My local IP Address" cannot be edited, since the information is taken from the system. Click the "OK" button.

After that, as the "Devices Properties" window opens, the program will automatically find your webcam, and also select an audio device for sound transmission. Click the "OK" button.

The main window of the program will open, if a video camera is connected to the computer, then in the right part of the window you will see your image. On the left side there are contacts, where by default everyone has a contact named "Test". To call one of the participants, just select the interlocutor and click on the "Start Video Conference" button.

The program control panel is located in the upper part of the window. I'll tell you a little about it from left to right:

• Remove Contact - remove a contact;
• Start Video Conference - start a video conference.
• Start Chat - start a text chat;
• Devices Settings - device settings;

To add a new contact, you must click on the "Add Contact" icon, specifying its data, then save the contact. I think now you can use video chat over a local network on your computer without any problems.

P.S. Today for dessert - this is how the youth dance.

Today there is two main ways organization of a corporate chat. First of them is to use the most common IM clients in our country: ICQ, QIP, Skype and so on. Its main advantage is ease of implementation and low cost. Indeed, it’s impossible to come up with something easier: all employees need to establish a client and add each other to their contacts. The use of these systems is generally free.

However, this solution has a number of serious disadvantages. At first they lack many very useful features. In particular, on all systems (with the exception of Skype) there is no group chats, message read confirmation functions, etc. Secondly, IM chats absolutely unmanageable across the organization. Each employee has his own account, with which he is free to do whatever he wants. This raises the problem of control over employee correspondence, access to the message archive, creation of “corporate” numbers, etc.

Thirdly, usage IM clients- potential threat information security companies. And we are talking not only about technical issues (for example, the risk of downloading infected files, clicking on dangerous links, etc.), which can be successfully dealt with. IM chats are one of the main channels for leakage of confidential information, which, among other things, is rather difficult to control by DLP systems. This is especially true for Skype, which transmits traffic in encrypted form. In addition, there is always a risk that an employee will lose control over his ICQ account. Having obtained it, the attacker will be able to communicate with the company's clients, implementing these or those fraudulent schemes in order to deceive them. Which, in the end, will have an extremely negative impact on the reputation and business of the company.

Second the way to organize a chat for the office is to use special software. And although this is a somewhat more costly method, it is free from all of the above disadvantages. Well, additional features that can be actively used in business processes, increasing their efficiency, quickly recoup the costs of implementation. Naturally, this requires that the software implements all the necessary functions. Therefore, the choice of a program for organizing a corporate chat should be approached very carefully: the more functionality of the product, the more widely it can be used. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to another aspect - namely, the possibility of implementation and administration. Integration with Active Directory, remote management, scalability of the solution can significantly simplify the management of corporate chat, and therefore reduce the cost of ownership.

An example of a solution that meets all the requirements is the MyChat product presented by Network Software Solutions. It is with a client-server architecture. This means that a special server is used to ensure the operation of the product, which takes over communication and other functions. The client-server approach is optimal for organizing corporate chat in both small and large networks. It features good controllability, broad capabilities and low bandwidth utilization.

In terms of functions intended for end users, the program MyChat have something to brag about. You need to start with the presence of two modes of communication: personal and group. With the first, everything is very simple. Two users can correspond with each other in much the same way as in ICQ. Group communication implemented in the form of channels - special “groups”, to which either everyone or only certain employees of the organization can connect. In this case, the channels can be created by the administrator and always exist, or they can be opened by the users themselves (who have the rights to this), if necessary. This flexibility comes in very handy in practice. For example, you can create one common channel for communication of all office employees and separate channels for correspondence within each department.

During communication, users can apply a wide range of different functions... Among them, we can note the possibility of using formatting of text and emoticons, arbitrary pictures and links in messages, transferring files both directly and through the chat server, saving the history of correspondence, ignore lists, filters (anti-mat, anti-flood), etc. In fact, in MyChat everything necessary for full-fledged and comfortable communication of employees with each other has been implemented.

Naturally, it is impossible to imagine an office chat without a contact book. V MyChat there are even two of them. The first contains full list all users registered in the system. Moreover, they can be divided into departments, highlighting the chief in each group. This is especially true for large companies in which employees from different departments may not know each other. The second contact book is personal. Each user has his own. It can include all the people with whom you need to communicate often.

In addition, in the office chat under consideration, a whole a number of additional features... The first one is notification system... With its help, you can send a certain message to all or only some users and request a read confirmation from them. This allows you to send orders for review, notification of meetings, etc. Moreover, employees will no longer be able to say that they did not see or did not read the message.

The second additional feature is built-in FTP server... Its presence in office chat may seem strange. However, this is actually very convenient, especially if the company has not yet deployed its own FTP server. What does he give? First, storage for recording files, both general, accessible to all users, and personal. Secondly, it can be used to exchange documents (for example, you can save documents on an FTP server for a user who is not online at the moment). Third, an FTP server is required to automatic update chat clients (we'll talk more about this a little later).

The next additional feature is Bulletin board... You can "hang" an ad on it, which will be visible to all users within a specified period of time. You can also note the account manager, which provides convenient use of clients on those computers that can be used by different employees.

Many functions in MyChat is designed to increase the convenience of its deployment and administration. The more possibilities the system has in this regard, the more convenient it is to manage it. This means the lower the total cost of chat ownership. Distinctive feature MyChat is the possibility of using it in networks, including distributed ones, of a very different scale, from a few to thousands and even tens of thousands of clients located in different cities or even countries. This is provided by a whole range of administrative functions.

You need to start by looking at how to install client programs. You can install them both manually and automatically using group policies Active Directory... The same can be said for client upgrades. However, there is a more convenient implementation of this process in MyChat. This office chat has an automatic update feature. When using it, the client is updated independently at the command of the user, who is given a corresponding notification (in this case, the built-in FTP server is used, where the administrator must first download the distribution kit of the new version). Implemented in, which is able to greatly facilitate the life of the IT department of the company.

Another very important feature the office chat in question is own scripting engine... What is it for? This engine allows you to write arbitrary scripts that are used to automate various processes and integrate chat with other corporate software tools. Here you can also note the possibility of connecting various plugins. For example, a plug-in for remote control of users' computers. Combined with some other features MyChat(sending screenshots, MyChat Actions technology, etc.) this allows you to organize effective technical support for users.

The developers of the security program paid a lot of attention. All traffic transmitted in the system is encrypted, which makes it useless to intercept. This allows you to safely connect remote users over the Internet. You can also note the presence of a very flexible system for setting user access rights to chat capabilities. They are installed in groups, and the administrator can allow or deny almost any operation. This allows you to customize the chat for the office exactly as you need in each case.

Distinctive feature MyChat program is the active use of web technologies... This product includes its own web server that can be used to manage this office chat. This method of administration complements the traditional local console perfectly. It allows you to control the chat server remotely from your work computer or even from home via the Internet.
