It
was another webcast full of audio challenges and discoveries. We
learned that it is possible to use Yahoo Messenger for webcasts and it
is possible to have a skype conference and YM conference going at the
same time. Participants can hear each other across programs and all
audio can be included in the webcast stream. However, in the process
of activating voice chat in YM, the audio settings on the webcast
host's computer can be altered in ways that reduce the hosts volume
level and/or create some nasty echo noises. Audio quality this time
around was better than last time, but there are definitely a few
periods of sub-par audio. This webcast was hosted by Jeff (Bow, US)
and participants included Dafne (Venezuela), Allyson (Scotland), Claire
(Pittsburgh, US), Randa (Egypt), Buth (Kuwait), Vance (Abu Dhabi, UAE),
Sergei (Russia), Dennis (Pheonix, US), & Piotr (Poland). Thanks to
everyone who tuned in and particpated and we look forward to connecting
again during future webcasts.
