Re: [AG-TECH] AccessGrid and Polycom

Hi Sam,
Unfortunately I already tried VRVS with
no luck, as I got the same behaviour: I cannot select my "Polycom
ViaVideo II" as camera of my personal node, as it doesn't appear on
the list of the choosable devices: the only one I get is "Microsoft
WDM", which crashes when using the Polycom camera.
Any other suggestion?
Thanx,
Faber B.
