yesterday's webex: a full minute of mixed dead air, whispered "come on"s and a blank screen as someone tried to put their powerpoint up on the screen

also during last week's webex (the pizza one) the presenter unmuted everyone and, in trying to fix it, muted themselves for a full five minutes

we use readytalk which is a cheap webex knockoff and it works fine. i'm in software sales though so my whole life is web meetings so i'm used to setting them up. anyone hosting who isn't on the line 5-10 minutes ahead of time to set everything up is an rear end in a top hat. i love when the customer asks to use their web meeting software because you know they'll gently caress it up but i've been on so many calls i can usually talk them through making me the presenter fairly painlessly.Cocoa Crispies posted:"Darmok and Jalad in WebEx. Temba, his microphone unmuted." had to google but, perfect. Lyon fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I did not know until today that if you're viewing multiple people's webcams you cannot stop WebEx from flicking manically back and forth between who it thinks is talking, unless the host picks one to show everybody. It's a little frustrating when we're having a conversation between me, one guy in another office and then 5 people in a 3rd office that I'd really like to just keep on the screen. It completely loses its poo poo if people start talking over each other.

skype 4 biz does the same thing, very poorly; it would attempt to zoom in on the person talking but would usually get it wrong and focus on the table, someone walking by in the background, etc, and would take 2-3 seconds at a time so it was a non-stop pan and zoom of the image when you had 4+ people on each end

so part of what we're building includes a people search / employee directory function. we're a week and a half from go live of the whole thing. it got pointed out today that our HR folks have a naughty bad data practice, which is that to maintain certain special employee codes, they edit job descriptions and titles to include them. for some of these statuses, like retirees on pension, this isn't so big a deal: it just lists them as JOE Q BABYBOOMER, DBA, Retiree. it also, however, lists people that are on severance, on leave, blah blah. the fix is to get them to stop doing so, but w/e. to demonstrate this, over the screen sharing, someone brought up an employee they knew to have been canned and on severance. that employee was the Director that had formerly been the business owner of the project, fired because (among other reasons) the project had been kind of a poo poo show because he'd just halfassed it the whole way through good team building moment there.

we are implementing multi-factor authentication, affecting sharepoint, skype for business, and outlook. the preferred method is via the microsoft authenticator mobile app, so you just click "approve" in the notification when logging in. an admin assistant in the technology department does not have a cellphone, so can't use the app, cell call or text message options. there is an option to call a different number, but our office phones are all lync phones tied into skype, so you can see why this is an issue.

Because the phones don't work or because each button press is a new SIP session?

oh, sorry, caught up in the panic mode of the emergency reactive roll-out. 1. microsoft docs say it's a no-no 2. we aren't fully azure-cloud and the hybrid environment is causing issues with everything anyway, so maybe it should be fine? so far one of the users i helped didn't know where his app store was, didn't know how to search in the app store, and then didn't know his app store password, so we had to opt for texted codes. thankfully, he literally had his cell number written out and taped to the back of his phone so we could get that set up.

omfg when she found out she'd have to answer her desk phone and type in the code every time she logged into sharepoint she revealed she has a smartphone! jfc, she has claimed for years she doesn't have one and is unreachable outside of work, etc. she had never updated it though, so we had to wait 10+ min for os updates before we could start. the tech department is the worst for this thing, doctorates in electrical engineering, multiple patents, don't bring their cell with them. some of them have legitimate data collecting/vulnerability fears, but i'm sorry, we already live in 1984.
