...was a message I got when I was setting up the GeniAus Hangout on Air this afternoon but I wans't deterred.
I went ahead with the hangout not realising that my video feed was missing. This really didn't matter until I sharee my screen and started to demonstrate how to use a resource. It wasn't until the polite panelists told me that they couldn't see my screenshare and that they hadn't been able to see my smiling live face that I realised I had an issue.
In spite of this we had a good Hangout, thankfully the video feeds from the other panelists were available. In parts my audio was patchy but the panelists came through loud and clear.
So what will I do in future?
* As well as doing sound checks prior to the show I will ask the panelists to let me know if there are issues with my video feed.
* I will use another room in the house that is closer to our modem/router for my hangouts.
* I may connect to our modem/router with an ethernet cable.
Thanks to Hilary from Wales, Michelle from Stockton NSW and Sandy from Illinois, USA for joining me on the panel today. Should you wish to meet these ladies and hear what we had to sa you can watch the hangout recording right here:
