If your campus IT staff won't open the ports then I guess they <em>do</em> perceive this to be a risk—or perhaps they are merely trying to preserve network bandwidth by disallowing videoconferencing. I know of no alternative options, but these would in any case be mute without the cooperation of your local IT guys. It's up to you to convince them of the academic benefits of what you are trying to achieve!

Is there a security risk for them if they open these ports? Is there no way for me to achieve this remotely? What can I do to enable me use my webcam? Help will be very much appreciated. I am connected to a campus network and there is no way I have been able to convince them to open the other ports to enable me and my friends use our webcam and other services that requires opening this ports.

Is there a security risk for them if they open these ports?

Is there no way for me to achieve this remotely? What can I do to enable me use my webcam? Help will be very much appreciated.
