Skype Meetings Follow

You can use Skype Meetings to invite participants to your live stream. Below we show you how to use Skype Meetings for live streaming your bike classes.

Step 1

Start by opening the Intelligent Cycling desktop app, find your workout and choose the Live Player. Before starting your workout we display a "pre-start screen". Hit F11 on your keyboard to minimize the screen and open up Skype. If you need help with this step, please visit this link

Step 2

Open Skype and use the meeting ID you used to invite your class participants. Skype usually activates your camera by default so make sure to deactivate it manually. Change your settings according to this list:

1) Camera
Your camera should be deactivated (it's being used by the Intelligent Cycling desktop app).

2) Voice

Your voice will be transmitted through Skype. If you use the built-in microphone on your PC, the sound quality might be poor, so consider connecting to an external microphone instead.

3) Share screen

When you share your screen you also have the option to share computer audio. If you don't share your computer audio your viewers won't be able to hear the music you play on your device, so it's important to make sure it's activated.

Step 3

When you are done, open the Live Player window once more and hit F11 to return to full-screen view. The viewers will now be able to see the Live Player on your screen, hear the music from your PC, and your voice through Skype. If you want, you can open a small window showing your participants' video stream. Place it on the screen anywhere you'd like. You are now ready to hit play on your workout ‒ have fun!
