Configure Audio Devices

Before you start a recording, you should make sure that your audio devices are set up properly. Click "Audio Devices" under the "Tools" menu to configure your audio devices. Note that only the meeting host can record a meeting.

You can choose to have

1. No audio
2. Single input: to record audio from one input source, such as a microphone.
3. Dual input: to record audio from two input sources. Dual input is only enabled if you have more than one audio device (sound card) in your computer and you are running Windows XP.

You need to choose an audio device for each input if you have more than one audio device in your computer.

You can check the recording level for each input by watching the volume gauge.

Mute Audio

You can mute recording anytime during a recording session by clicking the microphone icon on the status bar of Web Meeting. If you have two input sources, you can mute either or both of them.

Recording from Microphone

If you are the only speaker in a meeting or you are creating a recording for playback, you can simply connect a microphone to your computer and record from it. In Web Meeting, select Tools/Audio Devices and check "Single input".

Recording from Two Audio Sources

Recording from two audio sources allow you to record from a microphone and a second audio input, which can be a second microphone or a line-input from an audio player. You will need to have two sound devices on your PC and the PC needs to be running Windows XP.

Set "Audio Devices" in Web Meeting to "Dual input":

In this setup, your voice is recorded from a USB headset. The second audio input is coming from another sound device's input. The sound from the second input is echoed in the first audio input so you can hear it in your headset.

Audio Webcast

Audio webcast allows you to broadcast your voice to all meeting attendees who join the meeting with a Web browser (See "Attending Meeting"). Attendees will hear the audio via their computer speakers. 

To enable audio webcast for a meeting, follow the description in "Edit Meeting".

As with audio recording, only the meeting host can perform audio webcast. If you have multiple speakers in a meeting, you should set up a teleconference for all the speakers to call in.

The following diagram shows you how to set up a meeting with audio webcast.

You can also webcast your Internet phone conversations to all attendees. The step up is the same as "Recording from Two Audio Sources".

Notes:

1. The audio webcast usually has a 5-second delay (the delay varies depending on your Web site traffic and connection speed). The audio may not be in sync with your meeting events, such as shared presentations or desktops, which have a shorter delay.
