hi,

i notice that most participants in AG events are sending video at only 3-400Kbps
per stream, so if you're only sending/receiving one stream then 1Mbps should be
sufficient. you might try receiving a video stream of known bitrate, and keep it
low, just to eliminate the bandwidth issue.

Victor,

I don't believe that 1Mb/s is fast enough, you may get vic to give you some 
thumbnails, but I doubt you'd get satisfactory performance opening one of 
the video windows.  I've seen suggested minimums of 15 Mb/s

Anyone else have a comment?
