Reminds me of my latest experience with the enterprise video conferencing software that will remain nameless.
One very important thing is knowing that your mic is muted. The button for muting the mic has an icon of a mic with a slash thru it (which in other software would mean your mic is off/muted). No. Not with this wonderful piece of enterprise software. I found out by yelling across the house at one of my kids while I was in a conference call with about 100 folks all over the world. It is the color of the button that tells you whether the mic is muted (aside: I am color blind). Later, after reading the online docs this is what I determined about the color of the button:
* blackish => not being used (?)
* red => used but currently muted
* blue => used and on
* clear => someone else muted you!
If you have to read docs to figure this out then the software is already a failure.
Also having a slash thru the mic should definitely imply the mic is off if they did any usability testing!
Also, the mic is on by default! Also, I noticed my video camera was on as well by seeing the little orange light at the top of the screen!!
