<p>A video messaging system (VMS) for providing efficient access to video by users of a plurality of processing systems on a network is provided. The VMS allows an authorized user to associate a video file stored in a server system with content maintained on a remote client system, such as an email message or a hypermedia page, such that another user can view the video file in conjunction with the content. The VMS includes a video streaming server subsystem and a video messaging server subsystem. The video streaming server subsystem archives video files posted to the VMS by users over the network, and streams video files over the network to client computer systems on the network, in response to authorized requests from users of the client computer systems.</p> |
