Within the applied research project we have developed a web-based video- conferencing system for several types of audio and video communication in the context of teaching and business processes. As a starting point for the development of the system we used an existing open source conferencing system OpenMeetings, which was customized on carefully prepared pre- designed use scenarios and upgraded into a comprehensive system. The developed video-conferencing system can be used independently or integrated into different complex systems, such as an LMS of the project co-financier. The main purpose of the video conferencing system, which is located at: http://meet.e5.ijs.si, is support for services of simple daily online communications where users do not require the installation of special software. The system allows the basic features such as: audio/video, public/private chat, whiteboard for the exchange and display of documents in various formats, web pages, screen sharing, voting, adding users to the event and recording. The system was successfully used and tested at the presentation of research papers, masters and doctoral dissertations among remote participants at the Jožef Stefan International postgraduate school. The system was also used during several international meetings and conferences.
