Skype phone-in rules?

Post by Patrick » Mon Jan 24, 2005 9:39 am

After going thru the last bunch of shows for the archive index it seems that a basic set of rules need to be followed to avoid "turn down your radio" moments:
- test your skype connection via the echo123 service. Make sure skype is working well for you
- crank your levels
- send a skype IM prior/during the skype call-in segment asking to get called at some point. You should list your call-in topic
- make sure your skype ID is known by the guys on the show
- remember to kill the audio stream of the show before connecting to the skype call
- use headphones during calls. This will prevent feedback loops

What do you guys think? After finalizing a list of basic skype rules maybe we can post it on the shows main page as well as stickying it on the forum.

How about "guidelines" or a tutorial rather than calling them rules?
