Elluminate Tutorial
If this is the first time you will be using Elluminate, please go to http://www.elluminate.com/support/ for setting up your computer. You will be prompted to download some software which may take anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes depending upon your Internet connection speed. The steps you will complete are as follows:
- Check that you have Java installed. If you do not the screen will tell you how to download the latest version of Java.
- Make sure your speakers and/or microphone are set up correctly. You will need to enter the "Configuration Room" in order to test your audio setup.
- Do the "Recorded Introduction" to get an overview of how to use Elluminate as a participant. This takes about 5-10 minutes to complete
Once finished verifying that your system is configured for Elluminate, please test your connection to the Elluminate Server for forestrywebinars.net by going to http://go.ncsu.edu/test_webinar_connection.
You should do this at least 24 hours in advance of a live webinar in case you have any problems that need to be resolved. If you have any hardware or software issues you can call Elluminate Support at 1-866-388-8674, option 2.
