Hi Fred.
You must be human since bots don't access human forums. Heh. Just mentioned that since one of the resident users (bots?) on BigBlueButton's demo site is named Fred.
Okay, anyway, what I meant was that where the shared desktop window appears, it pixellates into being. Kinda hard to explain in words. But I'll try:
It was something like two PowerPoint slides transitioning from one to another with a pixelling transition effect. But the end result is indeed pixel to pixel clear. It's just that on my slow broadband line < 200Kbs at most times, the end result takes some time to appear.
When I had a group of 6 students online, whenever one of the spoke on their microphone, I would hear a brief sound and then they were cut off. Any ideas why that could happen? I had my webcam window open at the time too. So in the end, my main mode of communication with them was me speaking in the mic, and the nice chat window system.
None of the students said that my voice was breaking up, but their voices broke up each time they spoke. Maybe when I setup my mod on my Moodle site, it was because I used the default test server settings - and the test server is usually busy?
I might attempt to install BigBlueButton on my VPS since I am working on using Nginx instead of Apache. But I doubt if I can get much VOIP performance out of my VPS server since it runs only on a 512Kbs pipe. And a VPS is not a dedicated server (which is what BBB recommends for a custom server).
Just wondering, 'cause I really like the look and feel of the system. Especially when I chatted with others on the Net whose first language was not English. Kudos for putting in the Google Translate.
