I'm not sure whether it's relevant, but:
As I understand it, the JANET video conferencing service ("access grid")
is usable with free software originating in the old MBONE stuff from
UCL, and now <https://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/accessgrid/>.
However, I've had no need of AG since our VC room with proprietary
software was scrapped, so I can't vouch for it. AG has non-trivial
notworking issues, which presumably rule it out for general use, but
major universities are likely to have that sorted. AG is, or was,
supported at Manchester; perhaps an expert is listening?
