The technology task force working group had a conference call on At-Large Technology Taskforce 01-20-2014 - Webex testing to test the Cisco Webex web conferencing solution.
TTF Persons on the call : Dev Anand Teelucksingh, Gordon Chillcott, Glenn McKnight, Olivier Crepin-Leblond.
Some of the notes from the meeting:
- DAT connected using computer audio - Cisco Webex does a hardware check first to test your audio and microphone before entering into the room. GC reported that a similar check was done when connected with Android
- There is a list of participants, but there isn't a way to raise your hand. OCH believes based on past experiences, that this is available but configurable by the host to enable it.
- There is a chat windows where participants can send chat messages privately to a person or publicly.
- Participants can activate their webcams on their (Android) phone and on desktops. Webex displays the webcam feed of whoever is speaking.
- OCL noted that an inability to set the language preferences of the meeting, where Webex detects the keyboard language setting and switches the menus in the meeting accordingly.
