Participant Video Issue - Dell Vostro 1500
Hello -
I searched this issue but got nothing - perhaps this forum can help.
Using Adobe Connect 8, I am the 'host' and not having issues.
I have a participant who is attempting to use the integrated camera on her Dell Vostro 1500 (XP equipped) during the meeting. In this particular implementation the participants login as 'guests' and I enable their video sharing rights so that they can have a virutal panel. Everybody worked (8 + cams) except for one participant who is using the Dell. Her video does actually connect, but shows up as just a black screen with her username at the bottom of it. I just tried to re-test with her 1 on 1 but could not get to the bottom of it and it has me stumped.
I had her do the following:
- Confirm that her laptop was 'open' and that she was using the laptop monitor (make sure the image wasn't black bc the laptop was closed
) - Run the Adobe Connect Connection test (flash player, connection speed etc.)
- Right click on her video pod, click on the camera and the one selected is 'integrated'. She did have another camera option (which I found strange) called 'imaging' or something, and I had her try to switch to that and no dice.
- She is currently installing the plugin locally - I have not yet heard back from her.
Has anybody else had or remedied a similar issue - participant video starting, and linking to their login (name at bottom of viewer) but showing up all 'black'?
The only thing I have read is some laptops not hitting the desired 'resolution' for the chat window...that most newer laptops will auto resize.....
Anyhow - thanks in advance for any insight/advice. The product has been working pretty well otherwise.
Justin
