Individuals are able to call in through a Skype number or through a toll-free (for the end user) telephone number. High Speed Conferencing provides a service where up to 100 people can connect via audio-conferencing. While Skypecasts has not worked well for me, I think I have found a reasonably inexpensive pay service which does this quite well. This is a great tool that has a lot of potential for conferencing sessions.īonus: As I mentioned, it is possible to connect 100 (or even more) people via Skype conference. Step 10: If you want to go beyond talking heads on Ustream, Camtwist allows you to change the virtual video device so that you can broadcast parts of your screen, produce visual effects (e.g., text tickers, RSS feeds, imagery, etc.), or broadcast videos previously saved to your computer. Volume controls are found on the Ustream session pages. People who are talking in Skype should mute (or lower the volume in) their Ustream sessions. Important note: If you are hearing echoing at this point, it is likely because participants have the volume on in their Ustream and it is feeding back into the Skype conversation. If you have done everything correctly, Ustream is now streaming the entire Skype conversation (all parties) and thus, will be able to record everything. Note, you can record the session here (“Start Recording”). Step 9: Once you have your call initiated in Skype, click on the “Start Broacast” button in your small Ustream window (the one you see above). For more people, you could use the Skypecasts service although this has NEVER worked for me … and I mean NEVER, not once out of many attempts. You can bring in one other person for an audio conference, or ( I am told) as many as 10 total. Then, adjust your Video Source appropriately (you will know if have set it correctly if you can see yourself), and then set your Audio Source to “Soundflower (2ch)”. You will have to allow Camera and Microphone access. You don’t need to broadcast at this time, but this is where you will change your audio and video settings. Step 7: In Ustream, click on “Broadcast Now”. My assumption here is that you already have used Ustream, or that you can pick it up quickly. Note, there are a number of tabs that are important, with required information in each section. Fill in all of the necessary information and tags. If you don’t have a show, click on “Create New Show” on the right-hand side. When you login, you will see a “My Shows” option. Set all Audio settings to “Soundflower (2ch)”. In the Skype Preferences Menu (Skype -> Preferences), click on Audio. Set your Output and Input settings to “Soundflower (2ch)”. Step 4: Go to your Apple System Preferences. The Soundflower (16ch) settings should remain on “None (Off)”.
I strongly recommend that this should be set to headphones or you will likely get disastrous echoing effects. In the Soundflower settings, change the Soundflower (2ch) settings to “Built-in Line Output”. Step 3: Launch Soundflower (I think the application is actually called Soundflowerbed.app). Then, be sure that your output is to “Soundflower (2ch)”. This could be your “built-in line input” or a USB mic if you have one. In my case, I am using the audio input based in my iSight camera.

Step 1: Install Skype, Line In, Soundflower, Camtwist, and be sure you have a Ustream and Skype account. – The latest version of Skype and a Skype account (free). – incorporate a number of useful (and not so useful) video effects. – broadcast video files through Ustream, and – project your screen, or portion of your screen, – record the video and audio of the conversation, – stream a Skype conversation to Ustream (2 to 100 participants), Using the following information, you will be able to:

I’ve found a solution-of-the-day which is a combination of Skype, Ustream, Camtwist and other free tools. It is not quite what I need for my students. It does not provide for screen sharing/casting. It is free, it does audio conferencing well, but is quite limited in its functionality. Rob, Kyle and I played with WizIQ web conferencing. Participating in such a conference is a much easier process, and participants do not need to know these setup details. I do not want to confuse my students here. Note: This tutorial is for someone wanting to set up/direct/facilitate a conversation.
Therefore, I have been looking for and experimenting with tools that could be used to provide audio conferencing in combination with video and image casting. On Wednesdays, we have been using Adobe Connect, and unfortunately, the experience has been unsatisfactory. On Tuesdays, we have been using Elluminate and it has been a rock solid tool. I feel that my EC & I 831 course is going well so far.
