A video communications system for transmitting video data between a plurality of transmitting nodes and one or more receiving nodes. The video data at each transmitting nodes is scaled and assigned a display location at the receiving node(s) prior to transmission. The receiving node(s) simultaneously display video data received from each of the transmitting nodes. The video communications system minimizes the use of bandwidth, and uses a simple, inexpensive and efficient encoding and decoding system.
