About the Participants List pod
The Participants List pod displays the name and type of each participant and shows both your
current status and your approximate network bandwidth. The Participants List pod displays the
name, type, and status of each participant (including presenters). An icon identifies each
participant's type—participant, presenter, or preparing presenter. An additional round icon to the
right of each meeting participant identifies the approximate network capacity that they are
experiencing. No color indicates an acceptable network connection. Orange indicates that the
user's connection is less than the current room bandwidth, the user's network is experiencing high
latency, or the user's network connection is dropping 5% to 20% of packets. Red indicates that
the user's network latency is greater than 4 seconds, the room is on LAN and the user is
connected by a modem, or the user's network connection is dropping over 20% of packets.
Each participant sets his or her own status by selecting it from a pop-up menu available from the
Participants List pod. The following are examples of the status selections available:
•
I am fine
•
I have a question
•
Speak louder
•
Speak softer
•
Go faster

About the Chat pod
The Chat pod allows you to send text messages to other meeting participants. If you include
URLs, the chat pod automatically creates live links, making link content easy to access. You can
broadcast a message to all meeting participants (including presenters), or you can restrict it to
presenters or to individual participants.
