11a. Audio: Direct configuration of OS systems audio setup via Audio Setup Wizard
Reason: The single biggest obstacle for AC-users is the configuration of sound on their system. First they have to configure the sound in the OS (which can be very difficult), next they have to configure the sound in AC. The Audio Setup Wizard should be able to configure sound on the system and in AC once for all (Skype seems to do this).
1b1. Allow host/presenters b Audio: Allow hosts to modify the sound setup of participants, such as: turn volume on, up or down. A feature that 'Centra' has!
Reason: participants don't hear how they sound.
21.c. Audio: Improvement of the Audio Setup Wizard
Reason: It does not make sense, that vital functions such as detailed volume control for the microphone is hidden away under Advanced Setting, which by the way is deactivated by default. Volume control could be placed in Step 3, where it says: "Tune Microphone Volume". If users could choose their audio setup such as 1. a headset 2. loud speakers 3. speaker phones etc. some more advanced echo cancellation settings could be configured.
3. Subadministrator rights for each group (admin interface)
Reason: Our users are assigned to a group for each institution and we would like to assign local administrator right to a person, or a number of individuals, from that group.
4. Clean up procedure for inactive users
Reason: We would like to delete users, user meetings and user content, if they have been inactive for some time and have not responded to mail warnings after some time.
Work Around: we expect that we can setup something ourselves via the web-services-api.
5. Support for more file formats in Share Pod
Reason: People need more flexibility and direct upload and conversion of file types such as Word, Excel, Acrobat, various picture formats, Open Office format, etc.
1d. Audio: Better echo cancellation on Mac and Linux platforms
Reason: Good echo cancellation is so important in video and web conferencing.
1e. Audio: Full detachment between the video pod and microphone functions
Reason: the relationship between the the video pod and the microphone is not logical. If you deactivate the video, you also deactivate the audio. Why? If you go to a different layout, that does not contain a video pod, you deactivate everybody´s audio. Why?
1e. Audio: Better sound indicators in the meeting room
Reason: It is important to know when you are broadcasting audio and who is broadcasting audio / talking. Indicators in AC are not good enough in that respect. Often speakers do not notice that they have not activated their microphone, and you have to look carefully or know the voice of individuals well to know who is talking.
26. Better customization of user rights and roles for an AC installation, but also for each meeting room.
Reason: We would like to change user rights and roles universally for our AC installation, but also give each Host the possibility to change rights for a specific meeting room. For example we do not think that a Presenter should be able to switch off the sound of a meeting, deactivating all the cameras, closing down the meeting room, delete the chat/text (that cannot be undone) etc. This we believe is the role and rights of a Host. However, we would like the Presenter to be able to activate different layouts, which is not possible today, etc.
3. Better interface in the 'home'. Turn of menus that the user has not got the right to use. No more " you have not got the authorization ..."
74. Better text editing features in Note Pod
Reason: The Note Pod is a fantastic collaboration tool. We would like to see an undo and redo function (if you delete text today, it is gone for good), and the ability for each a person to edit each a paragraph at the same time (as in Google Docs text editor).
5. Support for more file formats in Share Pod
Reason: People need more flexibility and direct upload and conversion of file types such as Word, Excel, various picture formats, Open Office format, etc.
6. Built in QoS test of users internet connection
7. Warning if user machine hits 100% CPU, and advice to pause or deactivate the video.
8. Adobe Connect Add-in for Linux
Reason: You can only cater for collaboration if you support all the major platforms. This also include Linux.
9. Better echo cancellation on Mac and Linux platforms
Reason: Good echo cancellation is so important in video and web conferencing.
10. Full detachment between the video pod and microphone functions
Reason: the relationship between the the video pod and the microphone is not logical. If you deactivate the video, you also deactivate the audio. Why? If you go to a different layout, that does not contain a video pod, you deactivate everybody´s audio. Why?
11. Better sound indicators in the meeting room
Reason: It is important to know when you are broadcasting audio and who is broadcasting audio / talking. Indicators in AC are not good enough in that respect. Often speakers do not notice that they have not activated their microphone, and you have to look carefully or know the voice of individuals well to know who is talking. Make the little loudspeaker icon beside in the participant list more reliable. Sometimes you see speaker waves even when you don't hear anything, or the contrary.
12. Use of H.264 video in stead of Flash 8 (better codec)
13. Built in QoS test of users internet connection
Subadministrator rights assigned to specific groups (admin interface)
Reason: Our users are assigned to a group for each institution and we would like to assign local administrator right to a person, or a number of individuals, from that group.
1014. Ability to add folders to the file share pod
1511. Viewing of recordings directly in meeting rooms via Share Pod
16. Allow staying in sharing mood when clicking another layout button
17. 12. Ability to zoom windows/pods in a recording

2215. Allow to select, which presenters mouse movements can be seen and which not.
2316. If a participants' computer runs interferences, creates trouble, or has a bad connection, indicate which one it is.
24. Better interface in the 'home'. Turn of menus that the user has not got the right to us. No more " you have not got the authorization ..."
25. 15. Allow to retain a recording for public access should a user be deleted from the system with her or his agreement.
Reason: An organisation might want to provide access to recorded Webinars even after a host has left that organisation and his rights and conferences in the system have been deleted.
26. PDF-Support: PDF documents can only be shown by desktop sharing.

- Better streaming export - to separate CDN/streaming facilities.
- How to move content from AC server to dedicated FMS?
- Browsing recording&content metadata on separate server.

Issues/Bugs - current version
(Top 20)version 7.5
1. If you activate a different layout during a meeting - a layout without the video pod - you will deactivate all the active microphones in the meeting
Expected behavior: microphones should only be deactivated if you do that yourself, or if a Host intensionally do this.
