Accessible WORLD TEK TALK Presents Using The TALKING COMMUNITIES Client with Clyde Foley , Monday, June 13, 2011
Newswire: Have you gone to chat rooms and found the software confusing? You aren’t alone. Whether you come to events frequently or very occasionally, there are steps we can use to use them more effectively. During the June 13 session of tek talk, Clyde Foley the Technical Support Specialist of Talking Communities will end all that by clarifying how we can best utilize the client. Do you have trouble with submitting a question in the text chat edit field? Why does that happen and what can you do to fix it? Are their settings on your computer you can change and what are they? How can one maximize or improve the level of a microphone? What is the importance of being in the right window for a particular function and what should we hear so we know we are where we need to be? Why does the client throw us out of a room? What can be done if the name we have always used is no longer accepted? What options does the advanced option give? How important is it to update the software? If you have found navigating the rooms a bit of a mystery and would like answers to the questions above or have additional queries, this is the tek talk for you. We all want a pleasurable experience when we do anything on our computer. Clyde will be with us for just an hour, so you will help us all by making your questions clear and concise. Come join us to learn more about this client used often by many and a source of entertainment and means of learning we all enjoy.
