How to use Voice & Webcam Snapshot
Since the voice support is a room capability, you have to change the room properties to get it activated. As you know, the room properties can be changed by:
-- right click on the ground -> "Access Control..."->"Properties..."
or
"My House" window -> Little "arrow" button on the room -> Second "Change" button. After selecting the "talk to each other with voice support", a new button will show up on the bottom status bar, to the right of the "Chat" button. As the caption says this button controls the voice transmission: Click on it and keep it pushed. If the button turns green the microphone is activeand other visitors are hearing your voice.
If this is your first time of using DirectX voice system, you will be asked to adjust your hardware. You can repeat this setup later by going to "View"->"Options"->"Voice". This dialog contains other interesting options. For example you can turn off Push-To-Talk button and switch to automatic voice transmission: The system will automatically start transmitting triggered by your voice. You can also change the sound quality using this dialog. But be careful, higher settings require a lot of bandwith, best set the quality to medium!
Important: To really enjoy the voice support you should use a good quality microphone - preferably a headset. The "free give-away" microphones included with webcams etc. are almost always useless.
WebCam Snapshot Support
Similar to the voice support, a room can be set to allow webcam snapshots. Just follow the steps above and select "broadcast WebCam snapshots". The Roomancer will split the main window in two parts and display the webcam related information on the right side.
If you have a USB WebCam attached, the preview window should be active. By clicking the "Send" button, you can broadcast a snapshotto other visitors.
The "autosave" feature is turned on by default and rose will save all arriving snapshots under c:. Please use "View"->"Options"->"WebCam" for further options.
