VNCmcb
VNCmcb — the Multi Conference Board — is the control room for organizations that run many meetings at the same time. It does not replace VNCvideo; it sits above it. VNCvideo provides the meeting itself, VNCmcb provides the overview, the control and the evidence across a whole event: a conference, a training day, a distributed workshop programme, or the parallel sessions of a large internal event.
Instead of opening one meeting link after another, an organizer sees every room at once and acts from that view.
What it delivers
Section titled “What it delivers”- One dashboard for all parallel meetings. See which rooms are live, who is in them, and which are still empty — from a single board.
- Planned, not improvised. Meetings are created and scheduled in advance, with rooms, times and participants prepared before the day starts.
- Controlled by an organizer. Open, close and manage rooms centrally instead of chasing individual links.
- Built on VNCvideo. Every room is a real VNCvideo meeting, so participants use the same meeting experience, on the organization’s own infrastructure.
- A record of what happened. Participation and room state stay available for follow-up, reporting and compliance.

Typical use
Section titled “Typical use”- A conference with parallel tracks. Ten sessions at 09:00; the organizer sees all ten rooms, spots the one with no participants and redirects the group.
- A training programme. Several groups work in parallel on the same exercise; the trainer follows each room from the board and joins the one that needs help.
- A distributed workshop. Multiple teams meet simultaneously; the organizer manages timing centrally instead of coordinating ten separate links.
- Recurring committee sessions. Pre-planned rooms, opened and closed on a schedule.
