ECMM boardroom including recent additions of table, chairs and FreeView streaming video viewer (photo taken Jan.21/08).
The FreeView video viewer was reasonably easy to setup. The first step was to rez it from my inventory into the boardroom. The size of the screen was good so I did not have to resize it but that option was available is needed. Next I edited the placement of the screen by rotating it so it would fit flat against the wall and positioned it against the wall at the appropriate height.
Once it was positioned properly on the wall I opened the notecard with setup instructions. The instructions were easy to follow but I did run into a couple of problems. First, I want to have members of the ECMM SL group (now created) able to use the FreeView video viewer at their convenience. To do this a ECMM group had to be created and the FreeView video viewer had to be deeded to the ECMM group. This will allow for members of this group to use the viewer but be sure you have the ECMM group profile selected on your avatar so the viewer identifies you as a group member and provides you with the media controls.
The second problem I ran into is that the ECMM group is not currently set with permissions on the U of S property in SL. Therefore the FreeView viewer will not work due to the fact that the ECMM group, which the Freeview viewer is now deeded, does not have permissions on the U of S property. Hopefully Frank Bulk will be able to sort this out for us and we will be streaming video soon.

Thanks for the update, Kirk. The video issue is important, so I'm hoping Frank can give us all permission to use it. I'd like to see it possible for anyone in our group to show videos, and for the general public to be able to view them.
Once that's in place, we might want to build some kiosks with videos for visitors who want to find out more about the program.
Rick, I notice you have a video on the ECMM webpage. Would you like that video to play at one of the stations in SL?
