In addition there's a chat pane where users can exchange messages. But what's more important the conference window allows to work with files with a special toolbar for drawing. It also allows video files playback during the conference (swf format only).
Hide Unavailable Conference option helps the users to be up to date.
Users may also access the joomla conference archive where they can playback the recorded conferences. The teachers of conferences can also publish/unpublish and delete the conference records.
Users may join conferences in the corresponding section where all the announcements are listed; a teacher may also create, edit or delete the announcements.
A registered user may also send a request to join a certain conference. A teacher may either accept or deny the access. The teacher's answers are sent via email.
IMPORTANT: The component requires Flash Media hosting which should be ordered additionally. You can use any Flash Media hosting company you know or order it at our joomlalms hosting. Just select the required option at the "Flash Media hosting for web conference module" tab. Remember, you should register at joomlalms.com first.

F.A.Q.
These issues depend on FMS hosting (Simultaneous Connections).
Yes, they can. There're two groups of users: one group includes the presenters, other includes the audience of the conference ('students'). A teacher / presenter of the conference can enable and disable the students (one, or several, or all of them). Also the leading can set the capability of sharing cam and mic, and have an access to the white board.
FMS account is used for sharing stream resources between users (sound, video,...). Flash server account provides rtmp url, which you can use to connect to FMS. In account settings you can setup access rights (setup referrers) to your account. Also you can setup access rights in application (main.asc) file, if you have programming skills.
If you've bought flash media server hosting please follow those steps:
- Install the component com_live_conference.zip.
- Setup flash URL (in Live Conference component configuration) of your flash media server account and max number of users, based on your plan.
- Create new application with "liveconf_app" name. Create folders "streams" and "_definst_" as in the "liveconf_app" folder of this archive.
- Copy all the files from "liveconf_app" folder of this archive to the "liveconf_app" application on your Flash Media Server.
The reasons for the issue may be the following:
- rmtp path is entered incorrectly (say, you have '/' at the end of it)
- the needed files (asc files) are uploaded incorrectly to the media server
- if all of the above is correct you need to check if your account settings have a limitation to domain.To solve this you need to disable the domain limitation and make a limitation to connect with the help of our main.asc file (there is an example there): just enter the list of domains separated with comma that can connect to this media server.
You can use swf format.
You can use all file formats. But only image files (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP) and Flash SWF files can be displayed on the white board. All other files will be opened for downloading when it's selected by leading person.
No, but conference styles are configurable from the backend (the Conference tab of the Live Conference configuration).
