Follow the steps below to ensure you successfully access the webinar on the day of the session:
1. Is your Computer Ready to use Wimba?
First, walk through the Setup Wizard as soon as possible.
Do this at any time before attending your first webinar - you won’t need to do it again. The Wizard will ensure you have the software and configuration you need to see and hear our presentation.
We will be using Voice over IP (VoIP), so you can hear the webinar through your computer’s speakers or headphones. If you want to be able to speak yourself, you will also need a microphone, but this is not required.
If you don’t have sound on your computer, there will be a toll free phone number provided. Once you are connected to the webinar room, you will see the number and instructions for obtaining the unique PIN that will allow you access.
2. Connect to Wimba 10 minutes early

Come early so you are all settled and comfortable by the time we begin.
Other Information:
Computer Headsets
The perfect way to speak and hear on VoIP is with a headset that has both headphones and a microphone. There are many good models available for under $20. One that we use and like is the Altec Lansing AHS 322 which is available online for about $12.
