Sebastian,
Apologies for the confusion. Is it possible to have the two dialog boxes you mentioned, the "1) There is the Audio / Video test" and the "choose your audio / video device settings" dialog box changed to be one dialog box? You are most likely so familiar with OpenMeetings you do not see this as a problem, but the number of first time users who come into OpenMeetings who get confused is amazing. If people don't like my suggestion, then don't bother about it. But then could I ask that the "Start recording" button text be changed to something like "Start test recording" or "Start Recording Test", as I often get asked what does this mean. And I know the screen is well documented, but the new users still get confused. I think the text is "1316, recording flag, Start recording", but I think this text is also used for other "Start recording" buttons, so if I change this text to "Start recording test", then other buttons in OpenMeetings will be labelled wrong ?

Hallo Georg, I don't understand this request. There are no identical boxes. 1) There is the Audio / Video test where you can record 5 seconds of video and playback (this pops up even before entering the room) 2) There are the device settings to choose your audio / video device settings => Both boxes have on the bottom a checkbox already "do not ask again". => In the roomtype restricted the (2) popup will not popup => In the room configuration you can disable the popup (1) I don't think that there is something to do here. As for the resolution: You always can re-start your audio/video by clicking on the re-sync icon and choose different settings and restart the publishing. Sebastian 2012/5/5 George Kirkham <gkirk...@co2crc.com.au> Hi, When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with two screens both asking about Audio/Video hardware, can these be combined into one screen, please. Users find it frustrating and very confusing when they first join in a OpenMeetings Meeting Room because they are presented with two similar but different screens (I know I have been trying to introduce several people to OpenMeetings). I do like the option of being able to "not show these again". What I would suggest is that only the device selection screen appears. For Audio a "Microphone Test" toggle button be there with a microphone level meter for the test. For video, 1) since the video camera drop down list detects if there is a video camera, then why not only give the users the "video options" to select from if they have a video camera, 2) if they select a video camera, load up a second floating "video" window to the side which shows the video at the resolution that they select, if they select a different resolution then change the video window to that resolution, this way they can see the effect/size of their video resolution selection. After all in the current system, once they have chosen their devices they are given a video window anyway, why not a bit earlier so that can interactively select an appropriate resolution. Currently I see people either select a too small resolution or a too large resolution as they have no idea how it will look. Please let me know what you think about this suggestion and if it is feasible.
