Quick Start Guide for using Tellit

Tellit is your personal multi-media communication tool.

Set Up your Webcam or Microphone

Hook up your webcam or microphone. If you haven’t already done so, you will need to set up a webcam or a microphone to access Tellit. Please follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.


Log into Tellit

Log in. To go to Tellit, click on the link: http://tellit.youtellitnow.com

Enter your username and password.

Set your Device Settings

Camera and microphone settings. To use Tellit, you must set the Adobe Flash Player settings to access the correct camera and microphone. To do this go to either the Record Message or Hold Live Meeting section and click the Options button. Then click the Device Settings button and select the correct devices. Later on, the Adobe Flash Player Settings box will pop up requesting to access your camera and microphone. Simply click the Allow button.



Manage your Playlist

Upload your content. This is done by clicking on the Manage Playlist button which is located on the bottom navigation in the Home, Record Message and Hold Live Meeting sections. All buttons point to the same playlist. Then click the Upload File button to upload your content. The supported file formats include PowerPoint (.ppt), Streaming Flash Video (.flv), Windows Media Video (.wmv), MPEG formats (.mp4, .m4v. .mov. .mpg), and AVI (.avi).

Sort your playlist. After you upload your content, you will need to click on the Sort Playlist button to make sure all items are in the order you desire. To move a slide or video, simply click on it and then use the buttons on the far right to move the item forward or back.

Access your playlist. In both the Record Message and Hold Live Meeting sections, to move through your items in the playlist, either click on the items with your mouse or use your left and right arrow keys.

Record Message

Update greeting. Click on the Update Greetings button to personalize your message. This message will be viewable on your participant’s screen. You can choose to put in a title, your name, date, time and a message. You can later edit this message by clicking the Manage Messages button, highlighting the recorded message and clicking the Edit button.

Upload video overlay graphic. Click on the bottom navigation Options button. Then in the “Graphic for Video Overlay” section, click the Browse button to search your system for your graphic file.

Keystroke Shortcuts. Tellit was designed to promote eye contact through your webcam to your internet audience. This is achieved through the use of special keys on your keyboard (such as using your left or right arrow) in place of having to move your attention from the camera to look for the button to click. In the Record Message section, to start and stop the recording, either click the Start /Stop Recording button or use the space bar.

Then highlight the meeting you wish to access and click either the Invite Presenters link or the Invite Participants link. The email will automatically populate with the meeting details you typed in earlier.

Promote / Demote speakers. To promote a presenter or participant to speak to the meeting base, click on their name in the Attendee List. A dialogue box will pop up. You simply click to promote them to the open video box. To demote a speaker, click on their name in the Attendee List and then click the Demote link in the dialogue box.
