[10:30] Weekly Online Seminar: AccessGrid on the Desktop II

This is a follow-up session to “Access Grid on the Desktop”; in the first session, we stepped through a demonstration of the installation of Access Grid software under Windows and OSX, and everyone attending had their software up and running by the end of the session. In this seminar, we will fine-tune the installation and discuss some of the set-up issues a user might face (adding a Video Producer, controlling for echo, etc.).

Users who are interested in using Access Grid software from their desktop or laptop computer, but who did not attend the first seminar, are encouraged to visit the AccessGrid web site (http://www.accessgrid.org), and follow the instructions for installing the software on their computer (whether you get it up and running or not), and join us for this seminar to complete their set-up (we will not spend additional time on the actual software installation this time).

Please note: A proper AG installation/connection will require a working web cam, microphone and speakers. A headset microphone should be considered a requirement for destktop use of the AG software. There is a wide range of hardware out there and SHARCNET staff will not necessarily be able to provide assistance setting up web cams and headsets to work with your operating system (however will strive to assist where an otherwise working webcam/headset has issues working with AG).

Users should check with their local SHARCNET staff regarding availability of networking during the seminar.
