MeBeam Video-Multichat Help.
MeBeam is a Flash based application running within a browser and
makes use of dedicated proprietary load-balancing servers. It is all
programmed by Ashod Apakian. MeBeam multichat has build-in audio.
There can be till 16 people in a room. The videowindows will auto-
resize itself depending on the number of participants. Even a simple
chat is added with a small picture of those sending a message.
MeBeam will always get the most recent version automatically.
By using MeBeam you accept its terms and conditions.
Note: As options may differ in a newer version, read this as being global.
How to use:
1. Type in a roomname of the room you want to create for your call
or use an existing roomname to join your friends. The room name
must have a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 16 characters.
2. Press the Enter key or click on the "Connect" button to start and
click "Allow" to accept the Mebeam terms and conditions and to

Select in the Settings the Microphone icon to set the recording
device. Check the level gauge for the correct level. The level
gauge should be at the green/yellow level, see picture. If the
sound is still too loud, it can be necessary to click the slider.
4. When hovering the mouse over the video, several clickable text
buttons will be shown. Explained below. "MIC" is default OFF.
Click "MIC" to ON to be able to speak thru the microphone.
5. Press "MIC" to OFF when finished talking to prevent echo when
not using a headset (Using a headset is recommended).

room you want. Have only one MeBeam screen open at a time.

Tips for better webcam settings (< link)
Note: People who have webcams without separate control panel, try
to set the webcam to full automatic. Although the webcam will be
somewhat slower, the result will be better. Especially people with
with (the cheap) cmos type webcams: Take care for sufficient light,
otherwise the video will be slow and fuzzy! Also a cmos webcam tends
to have a higher cpu-load. In general: The less light, the slower the
webcam video will be! If you can find and afford a CCD based webcam
with quality glass optics, they are the best: Much faster and more
light sensitive!
