I don't think it's good do bind one specific provider into a generic SIP application. The conference rooms are nothing Ekiga really is aware of. They are provided by the SER on ekiga.net. If you use ekiga.net as provider - you have them. If not, you don't. Nothing Ekiga can control. Maybe something to solve with plugins...? Julien? > Also does ekiga work with video conference aswell?

You'd need a video conference service somewhere. Ekiga.net doesn't have one, but since there are thousands of SIP providers, I bet there are some with this feature. Beside that, I wonder what the standards say about multiple video calls related to each other - will wait for Damien :-) J.
