Hello SSR2 Review Team,
This note is to follow-up on Kerry-Ann’s inquiry regarding microphones on SSR2 calls. Previously, I was advised to temporarily disable microphones. I am happy to report going forward microphones will be
available on SSR2 calls! As a kind reminder, please log into Adobe Connect a few minutes before the start time to test your audio connection.
Please note, for best audio it is advised to join using the dial-out feature in Adobe Connect:

Thank you!
With kind regards,
Brenda

Dear SSR2 Review Team,
Thank you, Scott, for email regarding audio issues on SSR2 calls. A ticket was submitted to our Tech Support team inquiring about the announcement, “the host has left the meeting”, when a dial out is requested
while a call is in session. Following is a summary of their response;
“Unfortunately, that is not a setting we can control within (audio vendor X). The calls in which operators are assisting and no announcement is made would be taking place on (different audio
vendors Y or Z) - both of which we are attempting to minimize usage of based on cost and need. I know things come up in the moment which complicates things, but my best recommendation would be to make use of the operator assistance
prior to the call being underway.”
With that being said, as I mentioned in the plenary call today, it is highly recommended to use the self-dial out feature offered in Adobe Connect when you join. People who dial in generally do not have audio
issues. If anyone requires a dial out, I am happy to provide that service. Please advise before the call starts to avoid delaying and/or interrupting the call.
With kind regards,
Brenda

Hi Staff,
As we seem to spend a lot of time dealing with adobe connect technical issues... I've recently brought up with GNSO staff about these issues and announcements during our calls. We don't have these issues on GNSO or Business Constituency
calls. They said something is not set up right, we should not be having these issues and to have you raise this up with the help desk to have it fixed. Can you please escalate our issues and give updates on status?
Thank you,
-Scott
