Moderator Controls

« Recording | Main | Participant Controls »

Not having been born as a "standard" Web conferencing tool but more as collaboration platform for participatory work, Groove is not equipped with traditional moderator controls. Rather, it offers three levels of permission rights that you can customize and assign to each user of your Workspace. Further you have the option of handing control to other Workspace users in delivering a presentation or managing the input or display of specific information.

The owner of a "shared space" can control "permission rights" and "access privileges" and set specific rights for all of the "shared space" members.

Groove offers three levels of access rights that can be assigned to Workspace users:

a) Manager

b) Participant

c) Guest

Each one of this access groups can then be customized and can be assigned specific Groove rights. These include:

1) Invite

2) Uninvite

3) Add Tool Delete Tool

4) Shutdown

5) Keep archive after uninvited

One interesting feature available to Groove users is the ability to find out what the other Groove users are looking at.

By hovering your mouse on top of your active "Workspace users", you will in fact see a tool tip showing you information about what that user is seeing. The same applies if you hover your mouse on top of the different tabs that provide you access to the different Workspace application modules. Each tab shows how many "shared space" participants are viewing that space at any given time. This is very useful as a presenter can always monitor and see where all of the participants are at anyone time.
