STEP by STEP Instructions

You may skip STEP 1 if you already installed WIMBA on your computer or laptop.

STEP 1.  Run Setup Wizard.  This typically takes a few minutes so we recommend that you run the wizard at leat 15 minutes before your scheduled Webinar start time. If you have access to the computer you will be using to login into the webinar then we advise you to run the wizard 24 hrs ahead of time to test your system and update any supporting software as needed.

1. Go to:  http://uhlive.horizonwimba.com

2. Click on the “run the Setup Wizard” on the right side of the screen.  The wizard check to make sure your computer is configured properly for Java, audio, etc.  Note you may need to temporarily allow pop-ups for the wizard to run.

You do not need to perform the microphone audio test since you will not use a microphone during the webinar.  Note that only the presenter will be using a microphone.  All students should mute their microphones and only type in the lower left text chat area to communicate with the presenter.
