SL and Skype voice troubleshooting

Posted Sat, 03/19/2011 - 11:27 by HydraShaftoe

Let's face it. We all know that SL's voice isn't totally stable, but there are a few things you can do to clear up a bad connection on the fly or make a dead mike work.

Dead mike - If your SL client is not recognizing your microphone (most common reason for a dead mike), go into (on viewer 2) ME - PREFERENCES - SOUND AND MEDIA TAB - INPUT DEVICES TAB then select your microphone. It should say something similar to (Microphone (Logitech Voicemaster USB) as one of the selections. Usually the selection labeled "default" is not the one you want. Only try it as a last resort.

Why Second Life?

Posted Mon, 07/28/2008 - 13:50 by penguin kuhn

Today I attended the Avatar on Duty session at the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership office on Aloft Nonprofit Commons. 2020Vision (Ashima Saigal) moderated the session and she was joined by several other Johnson Center staff, along with a sizeable crowd of interested avatars. We were all there to discuss a key question for those involved with working with nonprofits in Second Life: How can nonprofits find long-term sustainability in Second Life and better translate into real-world action towards achieving their missions?

The session gave us opportunity to brainstorm and discuss this topic in an open forum. One of the first issues we discussed was what nonprofits hoped to gain by having a presence in Second Life. Many avatars saw Second Life as a way to engage a wider audience and bring awareness of their organization's work. Others mentioned the benefit of having a common meeting space and a way to network and collaborate with other nonprofits doing similar work, as well as connecting with organizations they might never have had the opportunity to meet. Jarhead Euler of Uptown Shelter gave the example of how his organization only heard about Community Voicemail through Second Life and now is meeting with several other organizations to discuss implementing this tool for their real-life work.

 

Many thanks to Brownrice Internet for hosting the NPSL site.
