I don’t see my video.
-
Presumable you have a webcam installed.
-
Be sure the webcam is working with
the viewer provided with the webcam. If not, follow the troubleshooting directions
provided in the webcam’s instructions.
-
Webcams can typically only work
with one application at a time. Be sure to close any other webcam applications.
-
If you previously had another webcam
installed on your PC be sure the old driver and all related software is uninstalled.
You can also adjust the Flash player to use the correct driver by right clicking
on the VideoCardroom application and choosing “settings” from the menu, then choose
the “camera” tab and then choose the
correct driver from the drop down list.
-
When prompted by the Flash player
privacy popup, be sure to ALLOW the VideoCardroom application access to your camera.
-
Corporate or personal firewalls cannot block port
443.
Test your Internet connection
Do I need a microphone?
No, we have text chat functionality. We currently
do not intend to support voice for two reasons. First, is uses valuable bandwidth.
Second, rude players maybe more inclined to use obscene language verbally then when
typing and reading obscene text is less intrusive then listening to it.
Special Rules for VideoCardroom
-
Only one game per player. No multi-play
is allowed.
-
No disconnect protection. If you
become disconnected for any reason it is considered a fold and you quit the game. This should not be an issue with broadband
connection but you should be careful if you are using Wi-Fi. We plan to upgrade
our software to allow a short period for reconnection in the near future.
-
Camera must always remain on with
a clear view of the players face.
-
Limit of 8 players game.
-
No nudity.
-
No obscene
gestures.
-
No obscene chat.
What do the color back shadow
mean?
-

-
Yellow - Players in hand waiting
for their turn.
-
Red - Player the action is on.
-
Blue - Player(s) who won hand.
