Understanding the User Screen

This is what the user screen looks like in the Unity App.

Up to six channels are available and are represented by a circle with a press to talk function, talk assignments above and listen assignments below.  

Enable the channels you wish to listen to by selecting the listen assignments, they will illuminate blue.

To talk to a channel enable the talk assignment, it will illuminate green.  Pressing the press to talk circle will send audio to the channels selected (see notes for talking to a solo channel.) 

There are settings to prevent multiple talk channels being enabled at once.

Talking Privately

Selecting “users” at the top right of the screen will display a list of people in your group.  Press and hold the name to talk privately.

Settings

There are some settings that we can control for you to improve the quality of your audio but most of the settings are in your app. Settings at the top left of the screen will display the options.

Programme feeds

You may be set up to receive a programme feed of audio being recorded/broadcast.  Access audio settings from the volume label at the bottom of the screen.  Programme audio can be set to duck under certain circumstances like receiving a call.

Troubleshooting 

If you are attempting to connect over wifi you may experience problems especially if you are using an office network.  A better signal may be achieved by turning off Wifi and using the data connection (eg 4G or 5G) If you are using a mobile phone and you receive a call you will be thrown out of the app and will need to log in again.  Turning on “do not disturb” in your phone settings will prevent this issue. If you are experiencing issues connecting or with the quality of audio, please contact a member of Creative Technology staff for assistance.
