When you are in a Web Conference there MUST be no other applications running. No email, no surfing the web, no Word or Excel, etc. Why you ask? Well, obviously we would like to have you only focusing on the conference but there are other very good reasons:
- The conference window "knows" when you are away, i.e. focused on another window or application. After a certain time period it will automatically disconnect you from the conference. Why? - Because the system thinks you left and forgot to disconnect.
- Other applications "steal cycles" web Conferencing is computer-intensive. In other words, it requires much of the internal resources of your system (memory, processor speed, etc.). When you are working on another application, yo u may be inadvertently "stealing" resources from your PC that were being used for audio or slides. As a result your entire computer slows down, audio is broken up and lost, and you can even be disconnected. Email is an especially bad "cycle stealer" but it's not the only one.
