Using Video During a Distance Learning Session
Siebel Distance Learning supports the use of live video during a Distance Learning session. However, prerecorded or live video uses extremely high bandwidth and the picture is constantly changing so it is important to capture the presented content as quickly as possible.
Using video capture mode. If you are attending a Distance Learning session that uses video, you will need to turn on the video capture mode.
To use video capture mode
- Choose Presentation > Optimize for > Video (High Bandwidth) in the Distance Learning window.
The Capture Frame is automatically resized to capture small video conferencing windows. The Capture Frame can still be resized, but be aware that large sizes will consume processor time and network bandwidth.
If you are presenting to attendees on slow networks or modems, using video capture mode is not recommended. You can use video mode at a slower capture rate if you do not need fast video.
Changing the capture rate. If the presented content is changing quickly, you may want to increase the capture rate. This will make your presentation appear to move more quickly, but will also generate more network traffic. If you do not require frequent updates or if you are limited in processing power, you can also turn the capture rate down.
To change the capture rate
- Choose Options > Preferences.
- In the General Controls box, adjust the Capture Rate slider to the desired setting.
- Click OK.
The capture rate is now changed to the new setting.
