What are the minimum technical requirements in order to webcast?

Thu, 2007-10-11 12:40 — plato

Internet Connection
   In order to webcast, you need a stable internet connection that provides at least 100kbs upload bandwidth
(which means dial-up connections will not work).  If you plan to have
more than one or two people in a skype call, you will probably need a
bit more than that.  You can test your bandwidth at AuditMyPC.com or speakeasy.net .  

How can I copy the URL of the Yugma?

Click on the top right icon in the Yugma window and 'copy session URL'.

How can I fix the overlap between between the main content and right column?

That overlap is created with some content when viewing the site with the default theme (Garland) on a 1024pixel wide monitor. You can fix it by clicking 'My Account / Edit' and then choosing either the zen theme or fancy theme.

How can I keep track of all the content being produced on this site?
