3) I have got sound feedback.

This usually happens when your microphone is positioned too closely to the speaker. You can avoid this by clicking off the microphone when audio is playing. To do so, double-click on "Volume Control" button at the lower right corner of your monitor screen. Click Options > Properties in the popup window. In "Show the Following Volume Controls", unclick "Microphone".

4) I have adjusted the mixer setting but the changes are not being reflected immediately on my side.

The sound from your microphone does not transfer to your speaker; Therefore, the mixer setting will not be reflected on your side. However, the adjustment will definitely take effect on the other side of the conversation.

5) I purchased an avatar from the Content Store. Where will my avatar be located after installation?

After installation, the content you have bought will automatically be settled in the folder:

Further, if you are adding emotions, the data will be located in:

6) What is the best setting for Desktop Sharing?

According to the real-time video base sharing, your internet bandwidth and computer CPU resource are necessary to be taken into account. We strongly recommend you to check the "Auto" checkbox, and the resolution and frame rate will be set automatically on account of the size you share.

The default settings are:

Media Size Frame Rate Photo 800 x 600 1 Video 320 x 240 15 Desktop Based on user’s captured area; Best 1:1 match

Firstly you have to set up your preference in the settings , click the Media tab, and you can set up the delay time per slide. After that, select the photos you want to share with your friends by clicking "select files" button and choose the images files. Remember to click the "Loop" button and then simply press "Play" button to start your slideshow. You can press "Stop" to pause on a single image, and press "Play" to continue.

This is due to the resolution of the shared video that has been modified by you. We recommend the receptor to stop and restart the video, and the full screen mode should be disabled. The problem should be solved while reopening the video window.
