How to increase the speed of video in video conferencing through net ? We have installed web cam to our computer for video conferencing and did conferencing in Yahoo messenger. But the result of video is not upto the mark. The video speed is too low. We are using BSNL broadband connection and its speed is 100 Mbps. What could be the reason ? Can it be improved by using any other software ? |

Just because your local link to your network device is 100mbps doesn't mean that your speed all the way to the callee is that fast.
In fact BNSL considers anything 256kbps or higher as "broadband" per their FAQ here:
http://broadband.bsnl.co.in/broadband/faq.htm
If you have 256kbps upload speeds it can limit the quality of video you can send. You really need at least 384kbps (or more) end to end to get good quality video.
Also, there are quality settings you can adjust in Yahoo Messenger as mentioned here:

Also, the quality of the camera is a factor. A low cost camera may not provide 30fps video, could have poor low light sensitivy and may blur the image during motion. If you don't get this resolved please notethe make & model of camera you are using when asking again.
Generally speaking you need to spend US$50 or more to get a good quality camera. There are many US$20 cameras which will provide a poor quality video image no matter what software you use.
My favorite web cam is a Phillips SPC900NC
