Connecting to Vidyo

• Using a computer

Make sure your computer has

•  robust internet connection.
• webcam.
• microphone (echo-canceling best, noise-canceling good.  Relatively new computers and software typically have these built in.  But that can sometime be defeated by plugging in separate speakers or microphones).
• speakers with enough amplification that all in your room can hear.

Connect to Vidyo meeting URL:

• Find the Virtual Center Indico page at http://indico.cern.ch/event/virtual_qn_rm
• Choose "Join now!"

Join the meeting:

• If you have a CERN computer account, you can use your credentials to log in.
• Anyone can log in as a Guest.
• If your computer is connecting to Vidyo for the first time, you will be prompted to download the client. Please do so.

The Vidyo window will appear. Enjoy the meeting!
