There are 6 channels set-up for voice in Avacon Grid.
To change channels simply double click on the channel name and that that will move your nameplate from the Lobby to whichever channel you want to go to.

Lobby

This is the default group you will find yourself in. From here you can jump to other channels except the VWBPE Office channel which is reserved for admins.

VWBPE Main Stage (Rockcliffe Library)

Presenters on the main stage will stream on this channel from the Rockcliffe Library Region in Avacon Grid.

VWBPE Social (Meeting 1)

A common hangout which will broadcast music and have other social engagement during the conference from the Meeting 1 Region in Avacon Grid

Other Channels

There are other channels and breakout rooms which you are welcome to use for small group meetings. Contact one of the channel operators if you require special access or assistance.

NOTE: In AvaCon Grid, if you are a presenter or broadcast camera person, turn off the Text to Speech options.

At the bottom of the screen you will see two chat channel windows. One says “VWBPE Conference 2015,” the other should be named the channel your profile is currently in.

To use text chat, click on the tab that corresponds to the channel that you are in.
Type chat where it indicates “Enter Chat Message … “
Your message will be sent to all members of the channel.

Note that only the server admins can send chat messages on the main “VWBPE Conference 2015” Channel.

If sound is not working correctly for you for some reason, it is likely because TeamSpeak has selected the wrong setting for your computer.

To manually assign playback and recording capture devices go to:
Settings > Options > Playback (to adjust speakers / headphone settings), or
Settings > Options > Capture (to adjust microphone settings)

Please do not test these settings in any of the main channels. You can test your settings out in the Main Lobby channel. If no one is there to help either, type a chat message (at the bottom of the screen) in one of the channels where you see either a channel moderator (little icon with a C on it) or a server moderator (little icon with an S on it).

Text to Speech Notifications can be turned off or on by going to:
Settings > Options > Notifications

• Change Sound Pack to : Sounds Deactivated
• Change While Output Muted: Play no sounds

Note that this will require that you close and relaunch the TeamSpeak software for the change to take effect (program bug).
