Calls & QMs Area

By admin in : Settings-Options Area // Feb 17 2010

Calls
This area lets you set up options for calls (also known as connects) and Quick Messages. Explanations of the options are listed below:

Accept calls automatically: Disabled by default. If enabled, anyone that calls you will be automatically accepted. Be careful how you use this option!

Screen Calls using Password: This options allows you to set a password for your incoming calls / connects. If enabled, when someone tries to call you, they will be met with a window that asks them type in a password. This password is the one that you chose in the Call Screening area. This password can be changed as often as you like.

If the person calling you has the correct password, one of two things will occur.

1: You will be asked if you want to accept/decline the call
2: The call will be automatically accepted (if you have Accept Calls Automatically enabled)

If the person calling enters an incorrect password, they will be prompted to try again. You will not receive any notification of failed call / connect attempts. Please note that Call Screening passwords are case sensitive. For instance, MyPassword is not the same as mypassword.

Quick Messages (QMs)
Auto-Accept Quick Messages: This option is enabled by default so that any QMs sent to you are automatically recieved. If you disable this option, when someone attempts to send you a Quick Message, you will see a window asking if you want to accept or decline the Quick Message from that person.

Save Sent Messages: This option allows you to save all of your Sent Quick Messages in the iCU2 Message Center. Please note that the messages will only be saved if you have the other person on your Pal List or have previously saved messages from that person. This is done to reduce the amount of unwanted sent messages being saved to your computer. Also note, that selecting “Save Sent Messages” may, in time, use up a lot of space on your computer.

Multi-User Settings
Maximum simultaneous users:This area specifies the maximum number of people that can view your VOD (Video On Demand) in the Chat Lobbies. If people say that your video is pausing / freezing frequently, you may need to reduce the number of users that can view you. If no one says that your video freezes, you can increase the number slightly. This is all dependent on the strength of your upstream bandwidth for your internet connection.

Chat, QM and Message Center Fonts:
