◆ The following instructions are for both SaasBoard Collabo and SaasBoard Room users.
Start a Video Meeting
Before entering a meeting room, you will be prompted to approve the connection of your camera and microphone to SaasBoard server. Click the "Approve" button to approve the connection (if a camera is not connected, your video box will black out, but other users can hear you through the microphone). Then, you should adjust for echo cancellation and microphone volume. Once the adjustment is made, the setting is saved.

Adjust Video and Audio quality
Members on the call are displayed on the screen once they enter the meeting room. Your video is in the upper left corner of the screen with the others in order of entering the room. Double-clicking on someone's video will give a pop-up window, which is both draggable and resizable. Using the "Setting" tab, you can adjust video and sound quality. The default video quality is set at 64Kbps and 70 points (equivalent to QVGA). Increasing the video quality will occupy a larger transmission bandwidth, resulting in slow speeds. So be careful when you adjust the quality. For better video quality, we recommend that you purchase a bandwidth option.

Let's Have Chat Conversations.
You can send messages to all participating members, or one particular person. The window shown in the lower left corner is for conversations between the whole group, so the text you type in will be transmitted to everyone in the meeting. For an one-on-one conversation, double-click on the person to open a pop-up window where you can have a conversation. This feature is very handy particularly when you want to seek a comment from a particular person.

Let's use WebBoard and Share Your Desktop
Web meetings usually involves numerous documents or graphics. While you continue with the video meeting, you can switch between the "Conference," "WebBoard" and "Desktop Sharing" panels anytime so the meeting become more media-rich and interactive.
