Farsight is an audio/video conferencing framework based on GStreamer. The project aims to provide audio/video conferencing for as many instant messengers as possible through a modular design. Telepathy and Farsight constitute the first implementation of the Jingle XMPP protocol. The software is open source, being distributed under the LGPL and is intended to run on POSIX-compliant operating systems, including Linux. It has also been reported to run on Windows. It is currently being used for audio/video conferencing on the Nokia 770 and N800.

Farsight is currently under active development in the farsight2 series.

Pidgin has a Google SOC project to use Farsight2 as the conferencing framework[1] at least in Jabber.
