To use the product you will need:
See also other pages in the category [[:Category:Unified communications|Unified communications]].


* a pc (Windows, Mac or Linux)
For more information, see the history of the page.
* a web browser with flash (Firefox and Internet Explorer have been tested, Chrome does not seem to work)


* If you want to share your desktop, we need to distribute a program to your pc (this feature is not available for linux clients).
* To talk, you will need a microphone
* To be seen you will need a web camera.
* To hear others your pc will need to be able to deliver sound, eg to earphones
== Do I need a user account? ==
Someone needs to run the meeting. If that is you, then you need to be a UIB user. You can then book a meeting through [https://skjema.app.uib.no/dimdim the Dimdim booking application], and we will allocate a room for your meeting. The people who you meet with, can be anywhere in the world. They do not need to have a UIB account, but we will need an email address for them. They will be sent a link and a pass-code so they can attend the meeting with you.
== Do I need training to use this product? ==
We hope that this will be a product which is intuitive to use, but because this is a pilot, we would like people to know a bit about the pilot itself, the processes in place and the type of feedback we would like. We also want to make sure that you make a successful start at using the product. For that reason we would like those people who are going to run a meeting to have a session with us, before they start.
For people who are just joining a meeting organised by somebody else, we recommend that you join one of the dimdim customer care sessions, before you go to your first “real” meeting. This will give you a chance to make sure that your microphone and webcamera is working ok, and let you see the product before you use it in anger.
== How do I start using the product ==
:'''[https://skjema.app.uib.no/dimdim - Book a meeting at https://skjema.app.uib.no/dimdim]'''
:'''[https://bs.uib.no - Or contact us to arrange a demo]'''
== I have some views on this product, where can I share them? ==
This is a pilot, so we really would be very grateful for any feedback you care to give - negative or positive. Is this a product which is helpful or not? Is it friendly or unfriendly? Is it great or is it awful?  If you have a view, please send an email to [mailto:angela.tuck@it.uib.no angela.tuck@it.uib.no].

In other words, the Dimdim pilot is closed, and this service is no longer available from the IT department.

In stead, you may use Adobe Connect.
