Video and Voice Chat

"While video/voice is enabled in Roll20, hover your mouse on the bottom right corner of a player's portrait in the Player Zone. This action will pop up a volume slider that you can use to fine tune a player's mic volume to be heard properly. It's important to note that a slider exists on your own portrait and tuning your personal mic volume affects how other players in Roll20 hear you." Source: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat</a> I've tried using both Google Chrome & Firefox. The "volume" slider never appears on myself or other players that are far too loud. I have the option to mute them with the little speaker icon poping up in the top right corner, but no solider ever appears no matter where I hover.

I have been experimenting with the video/voice of roll20 as well to see if we can switch to it instead of using hangouts.......I have the same issue as above. Is is the wiki not properly updated or is something not working? john b., just curious, how many in your group and does the video/voice run smoothly with out any lag?

6 total including myself. The roll20 video seems to drop people joining video stops working. Audio seems to be fine. I'm actually in the process of learning about hangouts. We were using Mumble (voice chat program) previous to this.

Just to chime in on the peripheral conversation - we've tried both over several campaigns and hangouts has been more stable for us than the built-in. We don't really care about the video very much really and have thought about going to mumble or ventrillo but have stuck with hangouts. While we use hangouts for the telephony we run roll20 in another browser tab because we don't like to lose the screen real estate by running it inside the hangout.

we really like having the video component(it fits what we enjoy), as its the same guys i played table top with 20 years ago. We have been using hangouts the last two years...very, very stable. I was just thinking, if the native a/v is usable now, why not go for it.....i should be able to increase screen real estate. but whats the deal with the volume slider??????

TokBox is a name for the embedded audio-video component that Roll20 uses. I believe the volume slider option was removed by TokBox in an update some months ago, and, nowadays, TokBox is supposed to simply auto-level everyone's voice to an equal level. (Could be wrong but I think this is accurate.) If confirmed, that would make the Wiki/Docs page wrong, and needs to be edited. (Link provided by John in 1st post). Best way to adjust your own outgoing volume would be: Use your computer or device OS to control mic volume / gain / levels.
