Stickam Player - Live Host Interface ( New ) - Functions

This is the window you should first see when you go live. You'll notice that the text chat area and guest video screen is now immediately viewable. You might also notice your video is clearer.

At anytime you can also choose to close these sections with these buttons:

You can re-open the text chat window with this button:

And Re-open the guest video with this button:

When a guest enters your room, he/she will appear in the small screen if he/she has a web cam installed. You stay in the large screen by default. But if you want a guest to appear in the large screen, use the

swap button to switch them.

Now you are the small screen and your guest takes over the large view.

This small screen has some new changes too. Its no longer stuck in a fixed place on your screen.

You can now drag the small screen where ever you want so it no longer blocks any video you're viewing on the main screen.

You can always swap your self back to the large screen by mousing over your screen and clicking the swap button again. You can also hide or stop your feed by using these buttons:

The _ minimize button will hide your cam screen and the X button will turn off your cam.

If you want to show your cam screen again after minimizing it, just click your name on the user list and choose show video from the menu.

You can also view guests media, profile, kick, and ban a guest by clicking their name from the user list and choosing options from the menu.

	Beside everyones screen is a volume slider that lets you control the sound level for each persons live feed individually.
	If you want everyones sound muted immediately then click on the mute all button. Clicking it again will turn back on everyones sound.
	One of the coolest features of the new Chat window is the record button. Now you can instantly record a short video and have it appear in your video section of your Stickam player. It records the host only and can last up to an hour of recording. This could work really well for vbloggers out there.
	To the left of the settings is your log-off button. Clicking on the settings button brings up a dialog box for settings.
