Schwab Rich Media Presentations - Viewer Help

 

Overview

The Schwab Rich Media Viewer allows you to view on-demand presentations—including synchronized support materials such as slide images—using your Web browser.  An on-demand presentation is one that is played-back anytime after it has been recorded.

 

Watching a presentation using the Rich Media Viewer is virtually the same as being in the room with the presenter. The presentation begins playing automatically when you open the presentation.  The Viewer window includes separate controls for the video and slide show portions of a presentation.

 

This help file discusses the Viewer requirements and provides instructions for using the Viewer controls to navigate and view a presentation's video and slides, answer surveys, display presentation details, chapters, resources and links.

Viewer Requirements

We recommend the following system requirements for the best presentation viewing experience:

·         Display resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or greater

·         Windows-compatible sound card

Video Controls

Use the video controls to control playback and volume.

 

The Viewer uses standard Windows Media Player controls that should be familiar to those who have used Windows Media Player.

 

Note: If the video for the presentation does not appear, verify that you have the current version of Windows Media Player installed. If you do not have the current version, go to the Windows Media download site.  (include link?)

 

Play, pause, and stop

 

 

1.       Click Pause to suspend playback or Stop to halt playback.

2.       Click Play to resume playback after pausing or stopping the presentation. If you stopped the presentation, playback will start at the beginning of the presentation when you click Play.

 

Adjust volume

 

 

Increase or decrease the volume by moving the Volume slider to the right or to the left, respectively. Click Mute to turn the audio off completely. Click Mute again to turn the audio back on.

 

View full-screen video

 

Simply double-click on the video itself to expand the video so that is fills the entire screen.  Press Esc to exit full-screen mode.
