          FIRST VIRTUAL COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES REDUCTION IN WORKFORCE

  COMPANY TARGETS BOTTOM-LINE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH BUSINESS REORGANIZATION AND
  EXPENSE REDUCTION IN ANTICIPATION OF IMPENDING MERGER WITH CUSEEME NETWORKS


SANTA CLARA, California - June 5, 2001 - First Virtual Communications (NASDAQ:
FVCX) today announced that it has reorganized its workforce to reduce costs and
in anticipation of its impending merger with CUseeMe Networks. As a result of
the reorganization, the Company is laying off 24 of its employees and has
eliminated five additional positions that were open due to attrition in the
ordinary course of business. The majority of lay-offs are effective immediately;
a small number of affected employees will be retained for a transition period.

"We are recognizing operational efficiencies by streamlining the organization,"
said Ralph Ungermann, president and CEO of First Virtual Communications. "We
believe this reorganization will reduce our cash burn rate and better position
us to take advantage of the future growth opportunities we have defined for the
merged company."

The Company will be holding a special meeting on June 19, 2001 to allow
shareholders to vote on the issuance of shares in connection with the proposed
merger with CUseeMe Networks. In the event that the issuance of shares in
connection with the proposed merger is not approved, the Company will take
appropriate measures to ensure that the organization is able to meet operational
demands.
