The power of live video conferencing webinars for your customers, prospects or indeed peers and staff is no doubt very productive, time saving and financially rewarding.

As the Pc Video Conference software enables Moderators to use either the Video or PowerPoint features whilst streaming in audio video streaming mode (if desired). we’ve included a couple of tips commonly asked by you via our help desk.

As proven, video streaming is very powerful as is video playback during live or recorded webinars.

Video Playback

You (Moderators Only) can either play your own uploaded video’s or indeed YouTube video’s to your audience.

Now please follow these guide lines.

1/ You can play .FLV, .F4V, .MP4, .MOV. Notice please, some formats, such as .MOV cannot be supported by your guests computers.

2/ Each file must not exceed 128Mb – if your file is larger, break this file down to several files.

3/ Youtube can be played back provided it is NOT set to private viewing within YouTube.

4/ Always play the complete video BEFORE your conference meeting to ensure everything works smooth.

Power Point – Presentation Playback

Now please follow these guide lines.

1/ Each .pps file must not exceed 128Mb – if your file is larger, break this file down to several files.

2/ Ensure BEFORE uploading the file to your conference room the file is NOT PASSWORD protected.

3/ The presentation player can be set to play each slide automatically or manually by the moderator using the player controls foward or back buttons (as per image above) or by selecting the miniature preview slides on the left side of the screen.

4/ Moderators can choose to optimize the screen to show full screen of the presentation to guests by choosing full screen mode.

5/ Every presentation should be played through by the moderator at least once prior to any conference meeting to ensure the playback is smooth without issues.

6/ Most marketers suggest the moderator turn off his/her webcam to ensure the audience focus is on the presentation
slides and not you.

Now the last tip for this post is regarding the drawing panel as seen by moderators during the presentation.

For obvious reasons, the drawing panel enables Moderators to write or draw directly onto the power point slide as would be the case to highlight a product feature etc.

If the drawing panel is not desired, simply click the hide button as shown in the image above.

Alright, there we have it for today’s Video and Presentation playback tips.

If you need any further assistance, visit our FAQ, User Manual webpages or indeed customer’s can of course contact us via the Conference V3 Help Desk.

I’m Anthony Hosking, thanks for coming by our blog.

At approximately 6am EST this morning, vz14 encountered an unexpected crash; subsequent investigation showed serious problems with the underlying RAID array. Up until this point our monitoring of the RAID and SMART status of all hard drives showed no issues, but it appears that the unexpected reboot caused serious issues with the RAID array.

We have successfully rebuilt the RAID array and are now performing a filesystem check to insure that the data on the array is secure. We will update this posting with more information as it becomes available.

Update 12pm The filesystem check is still in progress; we hope that it will complete soon so that the server can be restored to fully operational.

Update 2pm The filesystem is still in progress

Update 4pm The filesystem check is still in progress but at this time we do not believe that the data on the server’s primary disks will be recoverable; we are now preparing to move VPS’es from backup drives to new servers

Update 6pm The filesystem check has failed and the data on the primary drive is unrecoverable. We are now moving customer VPS’es from our most recent (weekly) backups to other servers.

Update 8pm The move of customer accounts is now well underway; as each account is moved it will be started up on a new server. Unfortunately this is unavoidable as the primary data disks have been lost and we are now recovering from backups.

Update 8:30pm The restore process will continue through the night and into tomorrow; we are working to restore all customers as quickly as possible but expect this process to take 12-16 hours due to the size of the data to be restored.

11.58pm All Systems Go! Everything is back online again.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Very soon following final beta testing the company will be releasing this latest release for new and existing customers. Unfortunately the sneak peek will only mention just ONE of many new exciting features to be included and this is on purpose not to show all our hand to our competitors just yet.

Yesterday’s test with almost 200 beta testers attending we able to see and hear 10 people stream real live audio and video all at the same time to all 200 people. And a headset is no longer required as we have perfected echo cancellation in the room.

Stay tuned as we are very close to releasing this very exciting new release!

Have a terrific day
