Best Practices: Intellor Systems

Add intellor.com to your Safe Senders List

What is a Safe Senders List?
This is a whitelist which identifies messages that should not be treated as spam based on the domain of the sender. Once you add a domain to your Safe Senders list, Outlook will allow all messages from that domain.

How do I add a domain to the Safe Senders List?
Use Microsoft’s instructions to add our intellor.com to your Safe Senders List – found here

Tip
Prior to the event, double-check your spam folder to ensure the configuration was successfully completed and you have not missed any important event-related messages.

USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION: Enable all settings IF your system conforms to specifications; Disable all settings IF not as this may degrade video quality.

Using Statistics

Statistics provides a real-time view of your local network, connection, bandwidth, and resource utilization, allowing your Event Producer to recommend the right optimization tactics.

Best Practices: Webex

Event Settings > Video 

Mirror my Video: Enable

Adjust Camera Brightness: Manual 80%

Additionally, if your local bandwidth is low, we recommend you disable the Show Participant Video setting.

Using Health Checker

From the Help menu, select Health Checker. The Summary option will provide a snapshot of your local performance, while Audio and Video Statistics will provide more specifics. This information will allow your Event Producer to recommend the right optimization tactics.

Maintenance Window

Maintenance of Intellor proprietary systems is performed Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. Some systems may be periodically unavailable within this window.

User action is not required following the maintenance window.

Intellor recognizes that our customers may have unplanned or crisis communication conferencing requirements arise within the maintenance window. In that case, follow standard priority request procedures and we will accommodate the requirement, using redundant systems if needed.
