Request to Talk with *8 (*T)
May 30, 2008 at 5:02 pm | Author: Dave Nelsen | In Announcements, What's New |
This week’s new release has been our most stable ever (still not quite perfect - there are occasional streaming failures that we’re working to resolve). That said, the two coolest new features are:
- Number of Participants; this count is displayed just above the show image on the home page, and just below the “Join In” button on the Live Now page. Frankly, we should have added this feature a year ago.
- Request to Talk via phone only; this is by far the more important new feature. Tell your callers that when muted they can now press *8 (as in *T for Talk) on their phones to request to talk. Very handy! When you notice phone-only users requesting this, please acknowledge it verbally as our system does not provide any other audio feedback.
By the way, both of these features were the result of your suggestions and requests. Please keep the great ideas coming.

Still a problem with texters not being muted when they sign on …even when the mute all button is engaged.

Absolutely one of the best features added to Talkshoe is the ability for phone only callers to raise their hand to talk or ask a question.
Thanks for implementing our requests!
