Talk:Whiteboard

Use

Use as much or as little of this as you like. The bell gets my attention best because in addition to making the same sound you hear if you press the doorbell, it causes a KDE pop-up on my main desktop. Get's my attention even if I have headphones on as long as I'm looking at a screen the KDE alert reaches.

Will be enchancing but what function there is now is solid (see TODO thread below). Root 18:39, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Latency of connection

Any video stream should appear in a few seconds but lags of up to 10 have been observed. The live video stream should not be off by more than a couple seconds from the real-time of a phone call, but this is an ongoing area of development.

Desktop Sharing

Current resolution should show under the tl:dr. The main linux desktop, Windows Ultimate N, etc, are accessed from a VNC session on the Mac but it's the priced version which scales everything to the size of the Mac. I'm using the free version of join.me, the session will be in the chat or communicated in an email so just go to http://join.me/nnn-nnn-nnn where nnn-nnn-nnn is the session id, ideally in a separate screen/monitor.

Settings

The server name may be set to loopback (localhost/oflademo) if I've been working on the app, but can be changed back in the UI:

• server URL should always be: rtmp://daclips.meansofproduction.biz/<service> where <service> is either live or SOSample.
• (my/view) video stream name: rrjStream.
• (your/publish) video stream name: youStream where "you" can be replaced by your initials if you are not the first/only caller.
• follow instructions to the left of the publisher app, optionally connect audio if you dont want to use a phone call for voice.

Any North American biz hours fine and and I'll usually respond within an hour or less, immediately if I'm at my desk and can take an interrupt.

Other Flash from red5 here
