VidyoOnLinux

This page briefly summarizes the steps needed to get Vidyo work on recent Debian based Linux distributions.

Installation
Vidyo Linux documentation summarizes the steps needed to install Vidyo deb package on recent Linuxes. In case of that the referred page was not available, the most important message is the official VidyoDesktop package has an unnecessary dependency on libqt4-gui and it has the instructions how to get rid of that.

Starting Vidyo
Vidyo cannot use PulseAudio framework, just ALSA directly. Therefore, before you try to access the videoconference, you need to start VidyoDesktop manually from a terminal (or by using a custom script): $ export VIDYO_AUDIO_FRAMEWORK=ALSA $ pasuspender -- VidyoDesktop
