The Broadcast Plugin allows Admins and optionally Presenters, to speak to the entire space for public announcements and broadcasts.

Admins can also broadcast their Webcam or Screenshare as popup windows to all users in the space. Screen Sharing Plugin must be installed separately.

How to Install & Configure the Broadcast Plugin

Using the Broadcast Plugin

With the Broadcast Plugin installed, Admins have a new icon for "Broadcast Distance".

Non-Admin users will have the same Camera On/Off and Mic On/Off controls as previously. 

Near Me

Near Me uses the standard spatial audio distances for microphone, webcam and screenshare, with users being seen and heard within a 10m radius. Your video is used as your Avatar circle.

• Microphone is heard within the standard vocal distance
• Camera / Webcam is displayed as your Avatar circle
• Screen Share displays as a popup window to people nearby, and can be placed and resized by each guest.

Broadcast Everywhere

Everywhere starts Broadcast Mode. When broadcasting to Everyone toggling Camera, Mic, and Screenshare on will do the following:

• Your microphone is broadcast at full volume to everyone in the space regardless of distance. 
• Your Webcam displays as a popup window, and can be placed and resized by each guest
• Your Screenshare (Screen Sharing Plugin must be installed) displays as a popup window, and can be placed and resized by each guest

When you are done broadcasting, return your Broadcast Distance to "Local". 

Install & Configure Broadcast Plugin

1. For Admins of a Space: Start by opening the Plugin Marketplace and searching for "Broadcast". Install the "Broadcast" plugin.

2. In the Plugin Menu, choose the Broadcast Plugin and click the "settings" cog. This allows you to adjust several settings, including allowing Non-Admin Guests with the "Presenter" role to broadcast.
