Enabling broadcasting by participants

To enable broadcasts by meeting participants:
Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the Camera and Voice pod.
1
From the pop-up menu, select Allow Participant Camera and Voice.
2
Participant broadcasting is now enabled and a Start Broadcast button appears on each
participant's Camera and Voice pod.
Although participant broadcasting is now enabled, before an individual participant can
broadcast audio or video, a presenter must approve it.

Approving an individual participant's request to broadcast

When a participant clicks the Start Broadcast button, it sends an approval request to the Camera
and Voice pod of each presenter associated with the meeting. A presenter must approve the
request before the participant can start broadcasting.
To approve a participant's broadcasting request:
•
In the approval request, do one of the following:
Click Accept to approve the participant's request.
■
After the request is approved, the participant must approve usage of their camera and
microphone by Macromedia Flash. Once approved, the participant's name, audio bar,
camera image, and media control buttons are displayed in the Camera and Voice pod for all
participants.
Click Decline to deny the participant's request.
■
No changes are made to any participant's Camera and Voice pod, and the requesting
participant is notified that you have declined their broadcast request.

Controlling audio and video broadcasts

Depending on whether you are a participant or a presenter, and whether participant broadcasting
has been enabled, you can pause, resume, and stop broadcasts. The following table lists the
