Communicator / the OCS 2007 Integrated Program / plugins How ?, When ?, What?

Question

but did not have time to delve into the various aspects described in it. I thought that I would have chosen for you a question and got some input :)

What I want to do is to integrate some of our business applications with a Communicator / OCS, for example. for example, how some games work in the Windows live messenger, or how Live Meeting integrates with Communicator / OCS (receiving webcam / microphone / chat input)

Someone did something along the lines before and could write some information about where / how to move forward with this idea?

Update:

I suppose that one of the solutions is to use the "SDK for customer's Unified Communications Client the Microsoft": http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=82C468DA-3294-4CA9-BBCC-D455CFD06AF2&displaylang=en

Along with "Integration of third-party co-operation program with Communicator 2007": http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb963931.aspx

With both parameters you will contaminate the hands some means COM-type interaction, and furthermore to the second embodiment.

I would recommend to dive deeper into the fantastic blog post that you mentioned - but then I would say that, as I wrote it, o)

Answer 2

You can see the project in the Sourceforge . This is an OCS plugin for Trillian (multi protocol IM client) developed in C ++ and C #. However, I do not think that it processes audio and video ...
