What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Broadcast video
2.  Double-click on another user's icon to view video.

What is the expected output? 
  The new "Viewing..." window would be visible next to the existing "Video
Presentation" window.

What happens?
  The new "Videwing..." window exactly overlaps the "Video Presentation
window", making it difficult for the user to retrieve the old window.

The current steps to change presenter -- drag-and-drop the presenter's name
over the (Presenter) button -- is unintuitive to a new user

An easier approach would be to change the (Presenter) button to a drop-down
menu that shows all users.  This drop-down would be active only for
presenters, making it very easy to select a different presenter.

In http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-
dev/browse_thread/thread/3d007d0708c28900#, Bernard asked about compiling 
the sample module.

Update the sample module and documentation so it compiles with the latest 
version of BigBlueButton.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open BigBlueButton client behind firewall

The client says 'connection' but eventually fails to connect.

The client should ping the server first before showing the user the login
dailog.  This way, the user will know right away if the client is able to
successfully connect.

When a user's internet connection momentarily drops, they are immediately 
disconnected from BigBlueButton.

The request is to automatically reconnect client to minimize break in the 
presentation.

Some users are reporting the latest version of Adobe Acrobat is creating 
slides that pdftk and pdf2swf are not converting in BigBlueButton.

A report from Steve Muegge:

"Start the top windows (Web Participants, Presentation, Group Chat) 
directly below the BigBlueButton menu bar (region with with the camera 
icon, Logout button, etc.).  The default today has "whitespace" between the 
menu bar and top windows.  This is fine on big high resolution monitors, 
but on other systems (such as the one I'm using right now), my first action 
on after logging in is often to move all the windows higher to better 
utilize screen real estate."

Resolution:
Change make the initial layout of modules more snug with the top of the 
screen (see attached image).

A very good feature for presenters would be to show the number of users who 
are actually viewing the web cam.  

Currently, the presenter is broadcasting, but has not feedback on whether 
one (or more) users are viewing his or her web cam.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Maximize Presentation Window

If a chat comes in, the presenter will not see it.  

Should add a small notification icon to the Presentation window indicating
that a new chat message has been posted.

Once the user restores the Presentation window to normal size (i.e. exit
full-screen mode or clicks the resize button in the upper right), the
notification can disappear.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login using build 0.34
2. Logout
3. Log back in again

Expect to see all the modules reappear.  Instead, only the viewers module
appears.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login with 0.34e
2. Logout
3. Log back in

Only the Viewer's window is visible.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Login and start sharing web cam
2.  Click Logout button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Webcam is still broadcasting.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Login
2.  Restart the server
3.  User remains logged in.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected the client to go back to the login screen.   The UI didn't change,
leading the user to believe he or she was still logged in.

Remote participants need a way to 'raise their hand' in a session.

This was in an earlier iteration of BigBlueButton -- need to see this
feature back to facilitate remote collaboration.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open BigBlueButton in 800x600 display.  
2. Click the show thumbnails button
3.

The thumbnails window is off screen.

Re-design:
Investigate integrating the thumbnails window back into the presentation 
window as an overlay, so the thumbnails become visible when the presenter 
moves the point to the bottom of the presentation window.  There would be 
scroll left and right buttons, like Flickr's slide show display.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start BigBlueButton on a laptop
2. Switch the display from the laptop to a LCD projector
3.

Sometimes the listeners window is not visible.  Also, the windows can
overlap on the small screen.

Need a button to re-arrange windows in an optimal layout, making sure all
windows are visible.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to a conference
2. Upload dpb.pdf (see attached) as a presentation
3. Click on thumbnail

You should see a small table (both in thumbnail and in presentation)

3. Upload Sample-PDF-Page-675

Expected to see the text "This is a Wiki How's sample page." as the 
thumbnail.  Instead, the thumbnail still shows the table.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Client A joins a presentation as presenter.  Sees slides with black
background (for example)
2. Later on, client joins as viewer, and when another presenter uploads
slides, they see their old slides.

Quitting the client and logging back in again didn't change it -- they
still saw the old slides.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Create a presentation, share a slide, go to slide #2
2.  Join as a viewer.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Viewer sees slide 2.  Expected to see slide #2.

1. Upload slides as presenter
2. Presentation window is blank until presenter clicks on a slide

Presentation window should show first slide.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.  Download any open source web conference software.
2.  Try to install, setup, and deploy.
3.  Invite users
4.  Watch users (but don't give them any training)

What is the expected output? 
  Users are able to use the software without training.  
  Developers are able to easily add their own extensions.  

What do you see instead?
  Managers can stop using WebEx, Placeware, or other commercial offerings.

Detect when a URL is entered in the chat window and enable users to launch
the URL with a single click.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Person A logs in as presenter and presents slides
2. Person B logs in as presenter and presents slides
3. Person A logs out

What is the expected output? 
The slides from Person B are still visible.

What do you see instead?
The slides disappear.

During a conversation using the BBB client, the listeners in the voice 
participants window was randomly going to mute. I could still un-mute a 
listener to correct the problem but sometimes it would go back to being 
muted after a couple seconds. This all happened within the span of a couple 
minutes, after which the client was working properly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Before the presenter changes the zoom level, he or she can resize the 
presentation window and the slides will automatically zoom (as in fit to 
window)
2. The presenter changes the zoom level
3. The slides no longer fit to window, and there is no way to reset the 
slides to fit to window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There would be a button that would be a Fit to window zoom.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest Flash Version (10.0.12)
2. Open BigBlueButton client
3.

BigBlueButton client informs the user (incorrectly) to upgrade to the 
latest version.

User gets a message

"You are using FlashPlayer v.10,0,12. Please upgrade to the newest version. 
You will be redirected when you click OK"

If user clicks 'OK' they are re-directed to the Flash download page.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open client on a smaller machine
2.
3.

Chat and video window are off screen.  

Need to set the default layout so it works well for 1024x640.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login as presenter
2. Upload slides

You expect to see the first slide, but the presentation shows the
thumbnails but no slide.

Currently, presenter needs to click the first slide.  The client should
show the 1st slide automatically.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Eject a presenter from the voice conference

An icon of a big mouth appears.  We should remove that :-).

There are too many steps to view a presenter's video.

The steps should be just double-click on video icon next to presenter's name.

Remove the steps to start/stop the video.  If the user doesn't want to see
the video, they can close the video window.

Problem: Red5 has changed their svn directory structure, so you need to make a 
quick update to 
your "sumilon" bigbluebutton-server/ivysettings.xml file

Simple fix to tell others: 
1. Open ivysettings.xml
2. Update Red5 googlecode svn (artifact pattern) locations
From this:
  http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repository
To this:
  http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/repository

Then retry "ant build" or "ant server" and it should build fine.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://present.carleton.ca/client/ 
2. Login as Bruce/85115/modpass


What is the expected output? 
Just see "No presenter". I can not upload a PDF file.

What do you see instead?
I can upload a PDF file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Upload a presentation
2.  Logout

The presentation should disappear for other users, but instead it stays
until everyone exits.

I'm using Flash Player 10 but when I try to open the demo, it seems like it
doesn't recognize my player:

You are using FlashPlayer v.10,0,12. Please upgrade to the newest version.
You will be redirected when you click OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Viewer zooms in on slides
2. Presenter zooms in on slides
3. Presenter goes to next slide

The presenter's window shows their zoom, but the viewer's window shows the 
cumulative effect of both zooms, leaving the presenter and viewer out of 
sync with the current view.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected that when the presenter zooms, the viewer's zoom resets to the 
presenter's zoom level.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Presenter starts broadcasting  video
2. Viewer views video
3. Presenter stops broadcasting video

The Viewer can still toggle the play/stop button, but there is no video to 
see.

Expected that the play mode for the play/stop button would be unavailable 
as there is no video being broadcasted.

Add links to help text from within the BigBlueButton application.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
It's not obvious yet under what circumstances the window will disconnect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See attached screen shot

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Here's a capture from the debug log

A presenter can eject a caller, but not a viewer.  

The presenter should be able to eject both a listener and a viewer.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import a presentation that has a large image

The problem is it might create a very large SWF file for the client.  

The upload process should warn the presenter if the image is going to be
too large; this way, they could adjust the resolution of the image before
upload.

Enable a user to send a message to one target user, not all users.

When a user is broadcasting their web-cam, show how many users are
subscribing to it.

Customers are looking for ways to add their branding to the BigBlueButton 
client.

A redesign of the toolbar could add more branding opportunities.

This problem was introduced after 0.32m, the last version I had tested before 
0.34a.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Flash Player
2. Open URL: http://present.carleton.ca/bbb034a/BigBlueButton.swf?
red5Host=present.carleton.ca&presentationHost=present.carleton.ca
3. Go to full screen mode (the whole point of using Flash Player is that I can 
get more screen real 
estate: not just when I am showing a presentation)
4. Log in (michael, 85001, theprof)
5. Log out

I could also reproduce the error using the browser:
1. Start browser
2. Open URL: http://present.carleton.ca/bbb034a/BigBlueButton.swf?
red5Host=present.carleton.ca&presentationHost=present.carleton.ca
3. Log in (michael, 85001, theprof)
4. Log out

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should see all the usual windows. Instead, all windows except the viewers 
window disappear.

Sometime (but not always) I get the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object 
reference.

Notes:
Why would I want to do that? Whenever there is an error in the system and I 
want to reconnect to 
the server. For instance (see separate bug), when I click the full screen 
button on the 
presentation, the window takes over the screen. I can only minimize it to an 
icon, but I cannot 
change resize the window, eg, in order to drag the presenter name from the 
viewers window.

Quick fix:
1. Close application
2. Reopen URL

Drawback:
This is not a very professional solution.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload a presentation (say it has 20 slides)
2. Click on the first thumbnail

The indicator shows "1 of 20" on the current thumbnail.

3. Click on the scroll bar to page down.

The indicator shows "1 of 20" on one of the visible thumbnail, where it
should show the correct slide number, such as "5 or 20".

To assist resolution of login problems, it would be helpful if the login 
screen provided more information on why the user was unable to login. 

Such as
   - Unable to contact the server (Red5 not accepting connections)
   - Invalid user-name or password
   - Invalid conference ID

Reduce the steps for broadcasting a video to the following:

1.  Click "Broadcast Video" button

Note: If the user does not have any video camera, this button should not be
shown.

After clicking, the video chat module appears.  

If there is = 1 one valid video source, automatically select, else if there
is > 1 video source, then 

2a.  Display the settings dialog to let the user choose.

2b.  Users chooses and clicks 'OK'

Flash prompts to let the user connect to the video.

3.  User clicks OK in flash prompt.

At this point, the video should automatically broadcast.  There shouldn't
be any stop button.  

To stop broadcasting the video, the user needs only close the dialog.

Please provide any additional information below.

We have a user that is requesting usage reports for the MeetMe application
on the voice conference server.

They would like to have reports that show for each conference ID, 
  - start time of call, length of call, # of participants
