Jaime,
I understand what you mean about the GUI being too complex for first time users, or users who only infrequently use the interface. Version 2.1 has a feature that you can set in the Administrator's Configuration (Manage system settings) section, which can change the default Tab from Dashboard to one of the meeting rooms tabs, e.g. to the Public Meeting rooms tab. This was created so we could set OpenMeetings to open into the "Public rooms" Tab and then all the user has to do is select the correct room to enter. Alternatively you may also want to try "Inviting" people to the meeting via the calendar or from within a meeting room, then when the user clicks the link in the emailed invitation, they go almost directly into the meeting room (no need to select which meeting room). I apologise, I cannot tell you the administrator setting for which Tab is the default when a user logs in, as I do not have a version 2.1 running at the moment on which I could check. I will also add that I have had many users who have had difficulty entering a room and selecting their Camera/Microphone hardware. I don't know how much easier we could make this, but they still have issues.

I see that users have difficulty with the current interface (Login and Dashboard). It is not really complicated, but they think they have too many options when they want to just entering a room and talk. Plugins and mail invitations is much better to work with them. 2013/3/13 Stephen Cottham <[email protected]> Sorry I couldn't make sense of your response Jaime, are you saying its too hard to build and test or you have an issue with using flash and the general GUI? From: Jaime Balbino [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 March 2013 22:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Easy login video chatroom I think Marius refers to the ordinary user. I also think that a simpler GUI is today, it is very difficult to the common user. As it is 100% Flash hinders more than it helps. Integration with other software helps a lot OpenMeetings. Exactly why escapes the interface itself. 2013/3/13 Stephen Cottham <[email protected]> Im assuming you want to build from scratch OS and everything? If so go here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENMEETINGS/Tutorials+for+i nstalling+OpenMeetings+and+Tools follow the guide Installing OM2.x On Ubuntu64 - Headless - 12.10.pdf - this is an install from beginning to end which includes the latest H264 compile steps.

The rooms are very simple chat + video rooms. That's the basics. I'm having quite some trouble even getting started. Is there actually documentation somewhere? I found the wiki, but it doesn't seem to have a structure I can make sense off... Can someone point me in the right direction/help me get started? It would be very much appreciated :) Best regards, Marius
