15 Environment Phase 1 demo is hosted in a limited capacity system Targeting use cases of small classes / office hours with ~10 people per session Scheduled updates will occur on Friday afternoons, between 4-6 PM Eastern Hotfix updates will be deployed as necessary; expect email

16 Browser Support Prepare to use Google Chrome Chrome extension to Host App Share https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/desktop- sharing/ajojghojfapedgfkjmhchgblmjfanggo Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari support for participants coming in a few weeks

17 Functional Expectations Current HD Audio / Video Up to 6 Videos High Fidelity App Share File Share with Annotations Participant List Room Chat Promote Moderator Raise Hand Away Error Report Adding Soon More Browsers Firefox, IE, Safari w/ Flash Profiles & Avatars Device “Tech Check” Blank Canvas Whiteboard Adding Later SAS Session Support Presenter Role 30-75 participants MP4 Recordings Localizations More Accessibility

18 Common Issues User not using Chrome can chat cannot see/share audio/video 1. Sharing Audio and Video must allow browser access audio device selection 2. User cannot see all videos 5 + me video limit MCUs will not send video if bandwidth limited 3. File Uploads.ppt,.pptx,.pdf supported red error text for unsupported 4. App Share requires Chrome extension retry app share after ext. installed 5. Bandwidth Dynamic connection adjustment not fully developed yet May experience “black” video windows or no audio 6.

19 Known Bugs or Issues IssueWorkaround Reconnect button that is displayed after a user is removed from session is broken Reload page Whiteboard / Shared File occasionally does not display for a participant when it is shared before they join Advance slide or stop and restart whiteboard / file sharing Windows users will not see.pptx files in the list of files to upload Change the file type filter in Windows Explorer prompt to “all files” or drag-and-drop the file into the UI All visible audio and video panels will occasionally drop entirely and then come back about 5-10 seconds later N/A – session will continue When a moderator stops another moderators app share and does their own app share, the app share window will appear gray or loading A moderator should stop their own app share before another moderators start one. When a moderator stops app share, one participant’s video occasionally displays in two of the video areas If possible, have that user disable video and audio for a little bit so they get out of the “active speaker” queue and then re- enable.
