Configuring for Live Presentations

You must perform the following steps to configure the Portal Server for each live presentation.

TTo configure the Portal Server for a live presentation:

1.Go to Global Settings > Program Names and add a program name (for example Live Presentation). Then use this same name in the MCS Program Name field in VBPresenter. This is the title that will be displayed on the Live Broadcasts page during a live presentation.

2.If necessary, give your end users access to this live presentation. Go to Users > Add/

Modify Live Channel Privileges and select this Program Name.

Hint To pre-configure a presentation, create a Program Name in advance on the Portal Server and assign Live Channel Privileges to users. Then use the same name in the MCS Program Name field in VBPresenter when giving the presentation. The MCS Program Name will be available on the Live Broadcasts page for any users who have permissions to view that channel

Launching a Live Presentation

The web server in VBPresenter can be configured with either a domain name or an IP address. If configured with an IP address, you must launch the MCS client using the IP address in order to view presentations successfully; if configured with a domain name, you must launch the MCS client using the domain name. You cannot mix-and-match domain names and IP addresses or Session Expired and Maximum Viewers Exceeded errors may be displayed by the Portal Server.

TTo launch a live presentation:

1.Once the Portal Server is configured as explained above, go to VBPresenter, upload your slides, go LIVE ONLINE, and begin the presentation. This makes the presentation immediately available to authorized users from a link on the Live Broadcasts page in the Portal Server. The link will be automatically removed from this page at the end of the presentation. If the presentation is terminated abnormally for any reason (for example if the presenter exits without going OFFLINE), you may need to manually remove the presentation link from the Live Broadcasts page. See Live Presentations on page 75 for details.
