Vidyo VidyoDesktop User manual

VidyoDesktop Audio Setup Guide : For version3
•Use recommended speaker and microphone devices to prevent echo
and other audio issues. (Please see recommended peripherals list)
•Use USB speakerphone or USB headset than built-in microphone for a
better audio experience.
•Plug each audio device directly into one of your computer’s USB ports
whenever possible rather than a USB hub.
•Make sure you have the latest audio drivers for the audio devices you
use during your VidyoConference.
Audio Best Practice – Before Meeting
•Close all applications except those necessary for your
VidyoConference to free-up your CPU.
•If your computer has a Power Plan (all Windows and Mac laptops do)
choose “high performance”. If you’re using a laptop, avoid running on
battery – it can reduce performance and quality if the power settings
are set to conserve power.
•Use the best connection possible – wired is better than wireless.
•Remove background noise from your location.
•Remove any obstacle around the audio device.
OS : Windows 8/7/XP, Mac OSX 10.6 or later
CPU : Core2Duo 2GHz or higher
RAM : 2GB
VidyoDesktop Recommended Configurations

•Disable echo cancellation when you are using devices
which have built-in echo cancellation (headset or
speakerphone). It appears grayed out when you use

Adjust Microphone checkbox to disable automatic gain control of
