Main functionality of the web client

Setting up the connection

To join a conference via a link, you only need to specify the display name; the conference number field is filled in automatically.

If the conference is closed you must specify the participant's name. Then in the window that opens enter the PIN code and press #.

In subsequent launches of the web client the connection data will be entered automatically.

Setting up devices

The settings window will open when you click on the arrow to the right of the device icon.

In this window you can select a camera, the required resolution and audio input/output devices.

• the microphone selection field allows you to select a microphone from the list; under the "Microphone" line there is an audio signal level indicator. It can be used to determine the activity at the input;
• "Echo cancellation" is the setting that enables the echo removal mechanism from transmitted sounds to improve the quality of voice transmission. Echo cancellation is enabled by default; "Noise cancellation" is the switch that removes extraneous noise;
• in the "Audio settings" block there is an option to select a speaker and adjust the sound level.

• select a camera from the list;
• "Resolution" field allows you to specify the resolution. The "Auto" resolution parameter sets the resolution to 720p. If this resolution is not available the program will select a lower resolution;
• blur background and replace background with image.

The moderator's web client interface differs from the usual one by the presence of the "Participants" tab with which he can call and end calls of invited participants, turn their microphones on/off and track those who have disconnected.

Managing participants via web client

Each participant's entry consists of the element of the numbered list:

1. avatar containing the participant's name and status indicator:

• blue - participant currently in a conference;
• green - the conference participant is registered on the server;
• gray - the conference participant is not registered on the server at the moment;

4. camera on/off buttons.

Screen sharing

There is a screen sharing button on the control panel.

Clicking this button opens the window with three options: screen sharing, program window sharing and Chrome browser tab sharing.

By selecting the option to share the entire screen you can enable "Picture-in-Picture" mode and minimize the browser window; the video from the conference with its participants will be moved to a smaller semi-transparent PiP window in the lower right corner by default (it can be moved around the screen) on top of other windows.

In the example below the following actions are performed:

• screen sharing selected;
• "Picture in Picture" mode is enabled;
• Chrome browser window is minimized;
• the document is open in Adobe Reader in full screen mode.

1. the Picture-in-Picture mode disable button returns the minimized browser window with the web client back to the screen closing the conference PiP and leaving the participant's PiP;
2. the PiP close button does not terminate the conference. To return the web client window to the desktop you must call the minimized browser window from the taskbar;
3. "Close access" is the browser notification about open access to the desktop demonstration program with the button to end the desktop demonstration;
4. "Hide" is the button that hides this browser notification.

Screen sharing ending

1. using the button to close access to the desktop demonstration of the application;
2. using the "Stop screen sharing" button to the control panel;

You can stop broadcasting the Chrome browser window by clicking the "Stop" button. Only the content of the web page highlighted in blue is broadcast to the conference.

File sharing

To show a file click the "Show file sharing" button in the additional menu in the upper right part of the screen and select a file in the explorer with the *.pdf or *.JPEG extension and start the demonstration.

• "Stop" is the button that will stop the broadcast and it will offer to open the file again;
• "Minimize" is the button that will move the image from the center to the upper left corner reducing it but maintaining functionality.

Conference recording

By pressing the record button in the additional functionality menu the moderator can record the current conference and by pressing this button again he can stop the recording.

Note: it is necessary to pay attention to scheduled conferences because a stopped conference is deleted and the moderator loses rights to the number assigned to it and, consequently, to its recordings. So the recording should be collected before the end of the conference or the administrator should be informed about the need to create a conference with the same number and appoint an account as a moderator in it or transfer the recording to the account.
