It should only take you 3-5 minutes! EG Moon Race - A simple race on the moon! When creating, use the portal button to drag the portal at the top of the largest dome to any portal of an open pair, then drag from that pair's partner portal to another portal of an open pair, until completing the circuit at the bottom of the dome. Invite friends and find embedded race directions. EG Board Game - A social board game for 3 to 6 players for 30 minutes. No portals connecting needed. EG Performance - A draft venue for an open-mic. Connect the starting pool portal to the audience portal. More plug-and-play maps to be released! Stay tuned :)

Portals connect rooms within an event. They can be put anywhere on a map and connect to any other, without the need to directly return to the same portal.

Question 13

My camera and/or microphone aren't working. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Upon joining an event and room, it will take about 3-5 seconds for video and then audio to connect. In the meantime, you should expect to see a light blue loading screen in place of video feeds. Your video feed will appear in the top-right corner and you can focus on it by hovering your mouse pointer over it.   If your camera or microphone is not working, try the following:   1) Close all apps accessing your camera and microphone, including Meeti2i. 2) Ensure your camera and microphone are connected and operating normally. Either verify via system settings or simply open a previously functioning video chat app. 3) Ensure Meeti2i is permitted for camera and microphone access. For installs, open your system settings to ensure permissions. For the web app, make sure you have granted access to both the microphone and camera by clicking on the lock icon 🔒next to the URL when open. If either isn’t yet enabled, enable them. 4) Consider a system restart to close any running background operations. 5) If running the Web App, try an incognito window to mitigate add-on or cache issues. 6) Turn off VPNs.   If audio is echoing for yourself or another user: For the user that is causing echo, close Meeti2i, plug in a wired headset, and reopen Meeti2i.   If issues persist, contact us for assistance.

Question 14

Meeti2i is running slow or freezing. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing lag, freezing, or drop-outs, then computer resources or bandwidth are the likely issues. There are a few things you can do:   1) You should try turning off the camera in the settings on the upper left settings menu. Click on the camera icon to toggle cameras off. 2) Ensure your system meets the following minimum requirements: 6GB Ram, 30MBPS Download 5MBPS upload, 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo. 3) Close all other intense processes on your system, or even restart your system to end background processes. 4) If using the web app, ensure you are using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Safari is not advised due to intermittent audio issues. Try an incognito window to mitigate add-on or cache issues. 5) Within Meet i2i, try turning off peer-to-peer video chat to save bandwidth and resources. You'll still be able to move around and communicate with audio. To do so: Within an event, click the i2i logo on the top-left and then select the first button to turn your camera off.   If issues persist, contact us for assistance.
