How to Access the Intercom - SRV Legacy version

Important Note for Enterprise Lite Users

This feature is for use with in-campus audiovisual (AV) inputs. Hence, it is not available for LearningSpace Enterprise Lite, which is used for web-conferencing-based virtual simulation encounters only. To unlock this feature, please upgrade to the LearningSpace Enterprise solution.

Intercom in Single Room View

The Intercom panel is located on the left side in Single Room View (SRV). When entering SRV, the panel is open by default when you enter.

Broadcast live or recorded audio announcements with the help of the Intercom to the authorized hallway (learner) and/or in-room (SP) workstations (computers), speakers, or other intercom endpoints set up in a room.

Authorized workstations, other intercom endpoints, and preset announcements are set up and enabled in the System. For more details, see How to Set Up Conditions for Intercom.

Enter a room in Recording to access its Single Room View.

To send announcements to the workstations, speakers, or other intercom endpoints installed within the room:

a. Use the Push-to-Talk intercom button (short-click and hotkey settings available) for live announcements:

  • Choose the station where you want to send the announcements:

    Once you let go of it, broadcasting is suspended.

IMPORTANT: The Intercom functionality of LearningSpace requires the web browser to have access to the microphone of the client PC, which in turn requires a secure HTTPS connection to the LearningSpace server.
That is, using the microphone of the client computer can only be conducted with a valid SSL certificate. (This restriction stems from the Chrome browser security regulations.)

Intercom Hotkey


With the Intercom hotkey, you can send Intercom messages with a push of a key on your keyboard. Once the Intercom hotkey is defined, users with administrator and intercom privileges can use this keyboard shortcut to send announcements.

Your System manager has to define the hotkey on the Intercom tab of the System module, which performs the same action as the Push-to-Talk button on the user interface.

You can access the feature on the following pages:

The Push-to-Talk function of Intercom is not supported on iPads in LearningSpace.
