System Requirements

This application uses a multi-way interactive multimedia broadcast over the internet using Elluminate Live! and your Java enabled browser. This application supports Mac, Windows, and Unix computers.

Elluminate uses "voice-over-IP" (internet voice). You will need a soundcard, speakers or headset, and optionally a microphone installed in your computer. If you do not have a microphone, you can send questions to the presenter via text chat.

If you participating in a room with multiple people, connect one computer to a mic, speakers and an LCD projector or large monitor. Pass around the mic so others can talk.

Installing and Configuring the Software

Follow these steps to ensure that you can participate. These steps may take from 5-20 minutes, depending on your Internet connection and computer speed.

  1. If this is the first time you'll use Elluminate Live, download and install JAVA Webstart software. Please click here and follow the instructions. You can close the window after the software is loaded. You may also delete the Java Webstart icon placed by default on your desktop.
  2. Once you have the Java software setup, perform a system audio receive check in a test classroom or use the audio wizard in a test classroom. This will load and start Elluminate Live! Use any temporary sign-in name when it asks. During this test session, use the FILE menu in Elluminate Live! to set your connection speed. After this check, close these windows and the Elluminate Live! application window.
  3. Consider attending the vendor's brief live Elluminate Live! demo, Mon-Fri, between 9:00 a.m.and 7:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-5, sign-in required). The demo helps you become familiar with the collaboration software, and check your settings. You can also sign up for a free live demonstration or event.

Participating Live in a Webinar

Visit the virtual meeting linkt and login after entering your name.

The first time you log in to an Elluminate Live! Webinar, you may be prompted to download Java Web Start (or OpenJNLP for Mac users). You only need to do this the first time you use Elluminate Live!.

Help/Troubleshooting

If you are behind a firewall or do not have software installation (administrator) privileges for your computer, you may need to the help of your IT department, perhaps requiring a few days notice ahead of time. Once the software is installed, technical support should not be needed.
