Using Sametime to Test Your Audio and Video
Sametime allows you to test your audio and video before joining a meeting. You can test your audio and video when you test a meeting from Sametime Connect or from the Meeting Center. (If you only plan to attend broadcast meetings, you do not need to test your audio and video.)
The first time that you test your audio and video, you might see some Security Warnings. Click Yes or OK in the warning dialog boxes to test your audio and video. See "Downloading the Sametime Meeting Room" for more information.
To test your audio and video:
- Do one of the following:
- From Sametime Connect, choose Options - Test Meeting.
- From the Meeting Center, click Test Meeting.
- The Test Meeting window appears, with text on the left and a Meeting Room, including video windows and audio controls, on the right. You should be able to see your own video image in both the My Video and Speaker's Video windows.
- If you want to test other aspects of your meeting (for example, if you want to make sure you are using a recommended browser, follow the instructions in the help topic "Testing a Meeting."
- When you are ready to test your audio and video, click the "Test your audio/video" link in the Test Meeting window.
- Audio and video help text appears on the left side of the Test Meeting window. Follow the instructions to test your microphone, speakers, and video camera.
- When you have finished testing, click Done in the Test Meeting window. Your audio and video are now ready for Sametime.
