After entering the room

You have to switch on your camera and microphone, if you want to participate. Look following image how to do it. Microphone symbol has to be green if somebody has to hear you. If you have problems to hear others, try to use in menu "Meeting -> Audio Setup Wizard"

During the conversation always switch off the microphone - by clicking on its symbol when you do not speak. Using sensitive microphone and speakers can cause acoustic feedback.

Troubles with microphone and camera

The application uses Flash Player. It can happen, that your Flash Player has setup, in which, due to security reasons, camera and microphone are blocked. You have to go in your computer to "Control Panel", in Control Panel you have to find "Flash player" and there you have to click on folder "Camera and Microphone". There you have to setup "Ask me, if Flash player wants to use my microphone and camera", or even you can go to "Setup for camera and microphone according to web address", and you can add to the list domain "connect.cesnet.cz" with "always allow". If you are using Chrome browser - you have do follow instructions at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/changing-flash-player-settings-chrome.html
