In the new release, the audio wizard pop-up window is too small to show the buttons "next" and "cancel". Thus, if good users used the wizard before commencing their session, they would have adjusted their speakers, but perhaps not the mic. If the computer has a headset plugged in, things will probably work, as this is the default setting. However, if you have built-in devices, speakers and array mic, those things likely won't work right. Simply grab the right edge of the window and expand it about 25% more, and the buttons you need will appear.
As regards the built-in devices, like mics and webcams, these use blue tooth drivers that programs like DriverCure will update. This may create a problem, and you should really cleanly reboot the system and test out the hardware before launching an iLinc session. Those of you using Vista have experienced such incompatibilities with the latest versions of Skype beyond 4.0. To fix this, reinstall Skype with a version less than 4.0. Also, make sure you are not running multiple applications that try to use your built in devices when trying to use iLinc.
Here is more on the upgrade from iLincBuzz, iLinc's twitter feed, and what has been updated with regard to recordings. All works, provided your IT staff have configured your permissions properly. You should be able to access your recordings via a link to the iLinc server, download it locally, and edit it with the iLinc editor. You can also play it back and rerecord it with Camtasia or similar.
Pedagogical reminder: Do not make your students watch 60-90 minute iLinc recordings. Make them 20 minutes in length, or edit your recording by cutting it into shorter segments.
iLinc’s Newest Release Makes You the Hero of Your Online Meetings
We all know that one of the biggest keys to every company’s success is the ability to put their best face forward in every external encounter—whether it’s with prospects, shareholders, current customers or people coming across your name on a blog or social networking site.
