I am reluctant to request work that does not contribute to the long- term goals of OpenMeeting but here are my observations (from out point of view) about the options...
Option 1 ==> ** We already experience bandwidth issues with desktop sharing. We have a mix of technical and non-technical users. Some can reduce the quality and size of the desktop that is shared--to keep bandwidth under control--and some can not. So this is probably not a good option for us. Option 2 ==> ** Is this just a matter of putting code back in that you've previously taken out? ** If you load documents to the whiteboard BEFORE the recording (instead of during) does this help the sync issue? ** Our recordings are likely to be 30 minutes or less. ** We have no requirement to export and do not need to provide seek. So Option 2, besides not contributing to long-term goals may be a path but is it worth it? Option 3 ==> Would this option require user's to share their desktop in order to share a document during a recording? I ask because all of our users have learned to share documents on the whiteboard. Not all have successfully and reliably learned to use the desktop sharing tool. >From a usability point of view, placing a document on the whiteboard and using the moderator tools to change slides is very easy--using the desktop sharing tool is not so easy for some users. But it sounds like ease of use may conflict with sound engineering decisions for this feature. Please let me know your thoughts. -- Wayne On Mar 3, 12:58 pm, Sebastian Wagner <seba.wag...@gmail.com> wrote: > this issue in particular depends on several things: > 1) > I could implement, relatively easy, an desktop-recorder, that works similar > to the desktop-viewer. > The problem here is the bandwidth Issue. > 2) > The other solution is to go back to a previous version, where I simulate all > events on the whiteboard.
