About this task

The Sametime Media Manager manages Sametime meeting rooms by maintaining a dialog with each participant, and ensuring that all media flows between those participants. The Sametime Media Manager supports interactive IP audio and video capabilities and enables clients with the appropriate hardware (sound card, microphone, speakers, and camera) to transmit and receive real-time audio and video in a Sametime meeting room.
