Getting Started: Quick Start Checklist

The Quick Start Checklist will help you with preparation prior to a meeting and with the configuration of the audio/video.  

Before Joining a Meeting

1. Access Account or Friends of Penn State Account. ( View the tutorial .)
2. Fast internet connection, updated web browser and Flash Player
3. Adobe Connect Add-In (View the Tutorial. )

•  Windows: http://www.macromedia.com/go/breeze_addin_install_win/

• Mac: http://www.macromedia.com/go/breeze_addin_install_mac/

4. USB web camera and headset (if broadcasting audio/video)
5. Test your computer at https://breeze.psu.edu/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm
6. Adobe Connect Meeting Diagnostic Tool ( View the tutorial.)
   
   

  If the report you get back from the connection test indicates that you are unable to connect to the Penn State server, it is almost always caused by a firewall or proxy server at your location.

•  Your local network administrator would be most knowledgeable to help you solve these issues.

• Another potential issue could be 3rd party firewall software on your computer, or possibly web proxy software that you might have your browser configured to use. Your local tech support staff should be able to help you adjust your settings.
• The ITS Help Desk may also be able to help you determine if it is a local software issue. Use the form at http://meeting.psu.edu/issueform to let them know what was in your report and what firewall/proxy server software you may be using.

Configuring Audio/Video
