I have attended H.323 video conferences via Microsoft NetMeeting, but I was still a participant. &nbsp;NetMeeting is free and was included with Legacy Windows OSes, and can be found for download on newer ones. &nbsp;I think you'll also need to open up some ports on your firewall to make it work. &nbsp;Have fun!

VLC <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" rel="ugc">http://www.videolan.org/vlc/</a>&nbsp;might be able to handle it as well. &nbsp;You'd have to experiment but VLC is free.

Thank you for the response. You are right as far as I can tell at this point. You did not mention in your first post that you do not believe any software can do that. I have been testing software and have come to the same conclusion. Tried VLC and not had any luck yet. <br />

Thanks again,<br />

Is there a pc app. to view H.323 video conference streams?<br />
We are using commercial video systems that have there own<br />
hardware. We need to only observe these streams not participate in them.<br />

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Internet Protocols

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
