Intercom Announcements
LearningSpace Enterprise uses HTML5-based Intercom, so you no longer need to enable the Flash plug-in; you only need to make a straightforward user interface change to use Intercom. Depending on the browser's default settings, you may need to enable the microphone for the client computer to connect to the Intercom system.
The Intercom pop-up window automatically opens upon launching LearningSpace in the browser if the computer used is added to they system as a Station. (See How to Configure Stations.)Interdom Client Pop-up
If the microphone is not enabled by default, the system requests permission; if it is, the pop-up will indicate that it is 'Connected'.
On the Intercom tab, you can add, record, and use preset (pre-recorded) announcements during recording.
To delete an announcement, click the checkbox in its row and click Delete.
Also, the Intercom push-to-talk hotkey can be defined on this tab:
Once the Intercom hotkey is defined here, users with Administrator and Intercom privileges can use this keyboard shortcut to send Announcements.
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, the client computer's microphone can only be used with a valid SSL certificate. (This restriction stems from the Chrome browser security regulations.)
Intercom's Push-to-Talk function is not supported on iPads in LearningSpace.
