Slide Window Guide for CU-SeeMe

When you choose Show Slide Window from the Conference menu, you'll see a larger version of the window on the left below. If you hit the leftmost button, the Local/Remote button, it will look like the window on the right below.

Local/Remote Button

The Local/Remote button toggles the slide window between Remote Mode and Local Mode.

In

Remote Mode you are passively watching slides from other participants in the conference. If someone else in a conference named 'Freida' sends a slide, it will show up in your slide window:

Note how the buttons stacked up and the window has resized to fit the image. Auto-resizing is an option in the Options Popup Menu. The sender of the slide can move a cursor around on the slide all participants in Local Mode will see moving, and that can control cueing up slides that have already been received. The "-1816" means this is Freida's 1816th slide.

In Local Mode you can make new slides, browse the slides in your queue, and send slides to other participants. As the sender of the slide, you can move a cursor around on the slide that other participants will see moving. When you click the cursor down, any other participants who still have that slide and are in Local Mode will cue to the slide and have their remote cursors updated.
