Using Audio During a Distance Learning Session
Audio is an important component of Siebel Distance Learning sessions. Unless you are attending a session that has been specifically designed for visual transmission only, you need to be able to hear your instructor's explanations as you look at the material being presented. You may also want to be able to hear the voices of other session attendees. The following paragraphs describe two ways to enable the use of audio during a Distance Learning session.
Telephone conference call. During most Siebel Distance Learning sessions, the presenting organization arranges for a telephone conference call that attendees can join. Consult the presenting organization for information about how to participate in such a call. This information may be placed in the Description field on the Sessions page or in the first screen you see after joining the session.
Voice Over IP. If session participants (including the instructor) use high-speed network connections to participate in the session, and if participating computers are equipped to send and receive audio, you may be able to use the built-in Voice Over IP feature of Siebel Distance Learning. Consult the presenting organization for more information.
To use Voice Over IP sound transmission
- Choose View > Audio Control.
The Audio Control toolbar appears.
- Click the Microphone icon when you want to transmit audio to other Distance Learning participants.
Your audio transmits continuously to the attendees until you click the Microphone icon again. Only one person should be using the microphone at one time.
- Click the Speaker icon when you want to receive audio from other Distance Learning participants.
You receive audio continuously from other Distance Learning participants until you click the Speaker icon again.
