A few questions about Connect Pro

Hi. We're interested in implementing a solution for webinars where we do web instructional sessions (continuing education for adults). We have an instructor who wants to do a webinar with the following requirements:

  • She wants to have a classroom of on-site participants but also be able to broadcast it for users across the web. How can this be done with Connect Pro? A webcam is stationary, so we'll need to have a camera that follows her around while she talks and stream that via Connect Pro somehow.
  • She needs to share videos with the students. How good is the quality of video shared via Connect Pro?
  • Do all participants need to have computer headsets to be able to talk to her? Or does the built-in microphones/speakers in computers create an echo problem?
  • If she has two other people who will talk during the presentation, do each of them need to have a named license?

Thank you for your help.

    I will happily share some experiences teaching Connect Live and through remote sessions:

    1. Teaching a mix can be a tricky balance. best to have someone managing the Q&A chats and fileding quesitons. There are some highend video conference cameras that automaticall track; it may be more cost effective having a live person track her movements through the room.
    2. The video shared may not be HD quality. The better the quality captured, the better they will see. Overall, the video I've experienced is on par with standard web videos. Better quality will require more bandwidth.
    3. Headsets are recommended. If they use the built-in mikes, then at the very LEAST they should use headphones to minimize the echo issue. If those speaking are in the room, they should definitely use headsets.
    4. No, they don't need a special license to speak. Microphone rights can be given to individual participants. Presenters automatically have those rights.

    Hope these answers help.
