By default, the Ctrl key on your keyboard is the designated Talk Hot Key to broadcast audio (and initiate a simultaneous video and audio broadcast). You may instead select the F8 key, or disable this feature entirely. If disabled, you must click and hold the Talk button. As the Ctrl key controls your talk function, please avoid using Ctrl when you are not talking.
Using the telephone
If you are unable to access a wbsLive seminar via the internet, you can telephone into the room. You should use the phone number and PIN listed on the relevant wbsLive login page. It is advisable to write down the phone number and PIN on paper and keep it with you during the session as a back-up.
You may phone in and login via your PC as well if you don't have a mircophone.
