Flashmeeting

**Why use Flashmeeting?** It uses a selection of commonly open ports so rarely gets blocked It doesn't require any software to be downloaded except Flash (which nearly all schools have already) Only one person can speak at a time so it requires half the bandwidth of other products like Skype. You can have a large number of people on at the same time, but this has no impact on constraints of the bandwidth. Users have to request accounts and sessions can be private, so students can use it safely. You can opt for the session to be recorded and it can be very simply edited. Then the URL used for the session is then replaced by the video To view an example recorded session [|click here] You don't need an account to participate in a session, but you do need one to create sessions.

Poor quality due to tunnelling If you have a poor connection flashmeeting will try to find a connection by tunnelling. However, the next time that you use flashmeeting it will still use the poor quality connection. To solve this follow these instructions. 1) When you first go to a flashmeeting, and before you actually enter, there is a "clear port" option at the bottom. When the person then tries to connect it will start trying the non-tunneling ports first. 2) The fact your client is set to "low quality" will also have been cookied, so when you connect to a meeting you will be in that mode. So you need to switch it back. Once you are into a meeting you need to go to the "prefs" tab and change the "connection setting" to high
