Videoconferencing involves new and rapidly evolving technologies. This section of ITCWeb will provide information about this network resource. New items will be added and information updated regularly.
- Videoconferencing Overview
- The protocols and concepts used in videoconferencing, and how different issues affect use of these resources.
- Making Arrangements
- A list of basic topics to cover when making arrangements with other sites for a videoconference, and links to more information on the topics.

- MCU and Gatekeeper Services
- MCU services can be used by any videoconference user to enable multi-site sessions. The gatekeeper allows use of the Global Dialing Scheme (GDS). These centralized services are maintained by ITC for use by the UVa community.

- Network Registration
- What sort of videoconferencing endpoints need to be registered on the network, symptoms that an endpoint is not registered, and how to do it.
- School of Continuing and Professional Studies
- SCPS offers for-fee videoconference facilities to the UVa community. It is not affiliated with ITC, but we work together to match resources with needs.
