CHAPTER 7
The Camera and Voice Pod
The Camera and Voice pod is used for displaying video that is broadcast live to meeting
participants, and it provides controls for regulating broadcasts of live audio and video to
participants. Presenters can send and regulate broadcasts, and they can enable broadcasts from
participants who are not presenters. Unless a presenter enables them, participants cannot
broadcast either audio or video. A presenter can specify that both audio and video can be
broadcast, or that only video or only audio can be broadcast.
For broadcasting audio, a microphone must be connected to the broadcaster’s computer.
Similarly, for broadcasting video, a web camera must be connected to the broadcaster’s computer.
The following are two scenarios for the use of broadcasting. In the first, both audio and video are
broadcast. In the second, only video is broadcast:
Virtual classroom
The meeting room is a virtual classroom and a presenter functions as the
course instructor. What the instructor says is broadcast to participants. A video camera broadcasts
an image of the instructor as the instructor speaks. Participants in the class are not enabled to use
audio or video. To communicate with the instructor, participants can use the Chat pod (see
Chapter 4, “Using the Chat Pod,” on page 33
) and the Participants List pod (see
Chapter 3, “The
Participants List Pod,” on page 27
).
Virtual meeting
The meeting room is used as a virtual meeting place in which geographically
separated colleagues can carry on a discussion. Broadcasting is enabled for all participants. When
a participant speaks, a video image of the participant is broadcast. However, because of limitations
in the way the Internet handles audio material, a conference call is used for spoken
communication between participants, instead of audio broadcasting.
Broadcasting audio and video
1
In the Camera and Voice pod, click the Start Broadcast button.
2
In the Macromedia Flash Player Settings window, click the Allow button to give the Flash
Player access to a video camera, if one is connected to your computer, and to a microphone, if
one is connected to your computer.
Your name appears in the Camera and Voice pod along with buttons for controlling your
broadcast. Audio and video are now sent to all meeting participants (see
“Video broadcast
settings” on page 47
and
“Audio broadcast settings” on page 46
). Audio broadcasting is
indicated by a line under your name. A green line indicates the broadcast volume level.
