Say Yes or No. Flashing
Motions
Fast polling is implemented with the Yes and No motion button on top of the attendees list. The
smiles, hand-rising and applause icons are now flashing to attract your attention.
Instead of creating a poll for simple question which answer is
just Yes or No you can ask your students to click on the
positive (Yes) or negative (No) buttons located above the
attendees. The answer appears next to each name.
Restoring a Broken
Connection
Sometimes the audio of slow connection users or users with inconsistent internet connectivity
may drop off. Now there is no need to close the application and enter the session again.
eLecta will automatically detect that your audio is lost. It will
show a “Connect Audio” button on the Audio Control Panel.
This very option is accessible at any time from the
Audio menu on top.
In case you totally get disconnected simply click the
“Reset Connection” button which appears on the
bottom-right corner of the main window.

The Audio Setup Wizard
This new eLecta Live release has a built in audio setup wizard. The wizard will help you to adjust
the speakers and microphone volume as well as configure eLecta for better audio performance
depending on the type of session you are attending.
You can get to the Audio Wizard from the main
menu. Choose Audio and then click on the
Audio Setup Wizard.
Or
Even faster you can do that at any time by
simply clicking the Audio Wizard button
which is found on the main toolbar.
As soon as you start the Wizard you session audio will
turn off and your name in the list will appear
“Away”. Closing the Wizard will put you back Online.
Adjusting the Volume
The Audio setup wizard helps you to select your input and output audio devices as well as adjust
their volume to a comfortable level.
The playback test will play a prerecorded audio message. While the message is playing you can adjust the volume. The Microp
test is to adjust the volume of your microphone. Not all microphones allow volume adjustment. You can also choose an audio de
if you have more than one sound card on your computer.
Audio Optimization
Depending on the session type and your role in the live event you can tell eLecta how to optimize the audio streams.
The Audio Optimizer offers you to choose from four different
roles you can have in a live session.
With choosing a proper session type you can significantly
improve your audio experience and performance.
This depends not only on your internet connection but also on
the other attendees involved in the session.
For example if the person who is talking is on a slow
connection you can hear his voice breaking although you are
running on a fast internet connection.
If you and your attendees are all running on a fast connection
then you may consider selecting the fourth (last) option.
Changing the Audio Codec
This new eLecta Live release supports several different audio compressors. For general type sessions you may not need
to
change the default audio compressor eLecta Live uses. In some cases however you may need to switch to another audio
compressor to increase or decrease the audio quality. The different compressors produce different audio quality and
clarity as well as different audio bit rate.
From the File menu choose
Settings then click on the
Voice Settings link.
From the Audio Compression
drop-down list select the
compressor to use.
You can also adjust the
maximum number
of simultaneous talkers.
Please read the notes
carefully.
The new settings will be
applied and the audio
connection will be
automatically reestablished.
Enjoy Your eLecta Live
