Video Conferencing

« Audio Conferencing - VoIP | Main | Desktop - Application Sharing »

WebTrain offers support for one or more video feeds to be shown during a live session.

Each user who is given rights to activate a vide feed can select either to send a continuos feed or to show a simple still. Stills of the presenter face can be taken at any time by using the standard Webcam input.

The presenter can control all of the Webcam features and controls by accessing the Pixel, Depth and Compression and the Gamma, Contrast, Hue and Saturation choices inside the Device menu in the Webcam control window.

Any user with full moderator/presenter rights can also select to send a snapshot of the Webcam output to the Whiteboard for participants to see. The presenter can easily select the size of the image to be displayed and its position on the Whiteboard.

The videoconferencing controls integrated in WebTrain demonstrate all of the company savvyness in choosing to provide a low-frame rate video feed rather than compromising overall performance for the benefit of a few only. In simpler words, the video offered through WebTrain is not "full motion". You don't see a person moving and moving his lips as if you were looking at TV. You get a picture update every few moments or every few seconds, providing yes a valuable visual feedbac of your presenter without compromising the amount of bandwidth necessary to do so.

WebTrain has therefore opted for providing a video facility that can benefit the most users while being simple to use and to operate. WebTrain scores very high in this respect by providing an effective control allowing the end user to select the most appropriate refresh rate.

Finally the "snap" button on the Webcam/video control window allows the end user to take a snapshot of whatever the Webcam is shooting by simply clicking on it. As mentioned, this output can be easily sent out to the Whiteboard area where other materials may be presented at the same time.
