Joining an Interwise iMeeting Event in the Tech Suites

The method for joining an event is determined by how the scheduler set up the event. Interwise is already installed on Tech Suite PC's, but the participants at other locations may need to go through an initial installation.

You should already have the webcam and desktop microphone plugged into the PC.
When the event was scheduled, the person who scheduled the event should have selected the setting to send out an automated email that includes a customized link to each person in your project group.
Open up your email.
In the invitation, click on the link for joining the event no more than 15 minutes before the event's starting time. See the body of a sample message below.
The iMeeting window eventually appears on your screen. If the window is not maximized, be sure to maximize it.
After the iMeeting window appears, a separate dialog box appears asking how you want to listen and speak during the event. Select the first option as you have connected a microphone to the PC.
The Interwise Audio Setup Wizard window appears.

Click Next to tab through the screens that allow you to test your listening and speaking volumes.
Close the Audio Wizard Setup when you are finished testing your volumes.
The Set Up Camera window should now appear and display what the camera is pointed at in a live picture.
You may also get prompted to change the Video Format in a dialogue box.
If you do get prompted, change the Video Format to 176x144 pixels.
You must capture a still image on the webcam which is displayed when you are not speaking. Click Capture to change the live picture to a still image. Capture changes to Recapture so you can recapture the still image if you want to. After a still image is captured, the Submit button is enabled. Click Submit to submit the still image so that other participants can see it.

Note

The first person to join an event is automatically the presenter. However, if you scheduled the event, you are the default presenter. If you are not the first person to join the event, make yourself the presenter by right clicking on your name and giving yourself presenting rights. The first person who joined the event will be demoted and no other participants can give themselves presenting rights. Only you can give others presenting rights once you take over as the presenter.
