CU-SeeMe

communications /see`-yoo-see'-mee/ ("CU" from CornellUniversity) A shareware personal computer-based

videoconferencing program for use over the Internet,

developed at Cornell University, starting in 1992.

CU-SeeMe allows for direct audiovisual connections between

clients, or, like irc, it can support multi-user

converencing via servers (here called "reflectors") to

distribute the video and audio signals between multiple

clients.

CU-SeeMe was the first videoconferencing tool available at a

reasonable price (in this case, free) to users of personal

computers.
