To Use Harmonie Web Adobe Connect Meetings Spaces as a Guest

You should be able to enter as a "guest" with a display name you
choose and not need a Harmonie Web user name via a meeting link such
as

     https://adobe.harmonieweb.org/meetingname

Check your audio is working correctly:

a) select the microphone as the input device in Adobe Connect via
Meetings Menu -> Manage My Settings -> Select Camera.... it does not
say Select Mic, but its in there that you select the mic icon and it
shows all devices known to the software.  Check the one selected is
your mic input (its usually named after your audio card or socket NOT
the name of the mic).  It must be showing a green bar, and you should
adjust levels as you speak so it not too low or driving to the red at
the top of the bar (which will sound distorted). Windows (all
versions) are particular prone to awkward set up of audio and device
selections. If you have more than one device or use USB or bluetooth
headsets occasionally this is a likely problem.

b) you must then run the audio setup wizard. Through that can check,
test and get help on the audio setup via Meetings Menu -> Manage My
Settings -> Audio Setup Wizard. You must authorize usage of the
microphone and ensure the right device is selected, and that its
levels are audible.

c) You need to push to talk with the little Mic control near the
bottom left corner of the Adobe Connect Windows.  No push, no talk!
If you are a presenter speak you can lock your mic open with the lock
near the push to talk button.  BUT as usual etiquette for audio
telecons please unlock it and turn it off when not speaking as
feedback and keyboard clicking noise will result otherwise even with
headsets.

d) You should NOT need the Adobe Connect plug into that the software
will offer to install for you connect unless you wish to do screen
sharing from your own computer screen.

Notes

Use push to talk if you do not have a headset and are open to air
between your mic and speakers, so others will hear feedback if you
leave it open (you will not hear it everyone else will).

Get a low cost headset (headphones and mic, 3.5mm stereo jacks or USB
are both fine) for such telecons using Adobe Connect, WebEx, Skype,
etc.  Or connect a professional sound cancelling device such as a
Polycom conference phone with a computer connection box.

Camera is separate and can be on if needed.. but it does use extra
bandwidth so its not worth turning on unless you are a lecturer or
presenter at some stage.

You must be set as a presenter to be able to activate voice input from
yourself.  If the mic control and lock button does not show in the
bottom left of the Adobe Connect wondow you are not set as a
presenter.  Participants can be automatically promoted to presenter
when they join the meeting.  Ask a host to enable this setting if need
be.
