Sclipo launches Automatic System Check for Live Teaching

We created an automatic Live Teaching System Check. With one click, you can now check if:
* your webcam works
* your audio / microphone works
* your Internet speed (in special the upload speed) is sufficient

The Live Teaching System Check page also contains answers to common problems related to webcam and microphone installation.

We recommend that every participant of a Live Teaching session conducts this system check prior to its start! If you are the teacher / organizer of the session, make sure that all participants also conduct this system check.

Sclipo works with any broadband connection (DSL, ADSL, cable), webcam and microphone. Yet, the more broadband, the better (plus 1MB upload speed recommended). And, the better your webcam and microphone, the better the quality of your video and audio. We recommend you use one of these Sclipo recommended webcams.

Many problems related to our Live Teaching system are caused by the incorrect setting-up of webcams and microphones, and too low or unstable Internet speeds (in special the upload speed). Remember that by participating in or giving a live class, you are “uploading” a lot of data: video, sound, chat text, whiteboard drawing, etc.. If your Internet speed is too slow, our servers will receive your data with delay, which will cause other participants to also see and hear you with delay.

So, check your system now! It takes just a few seconds: http://sclipo.com/liveteaching/systemcheck

We hope this Live Teaching System Check is helpful!

Happy live teaching and learning!
