locks the mouse out of the application to prevent it intruding. (As seen in Figure 292, the LIVE

• The gear on the right side of the widget opens a menu listing the following options:
o Color Group – After choosing a color
corresponding to a color group in TriCaster’s
Switcher , you can click a caller’s video
viewport in the conferencing application to
assign that caller to the color-linked Switcher
channel.
o Relearn caller positions – This selection
triggers the relearn algorithm , including re-
detecing the caller’s screens (useful if things
change unexpectedly in ways that can’t be
automatcially detected).
o Assign callers to inputs – Automatically assigns caller video output from an application to
Switcher inputs 9-17 (TriCaster 1 Pro inputs 9-12).
o Help – Opens a convenient Help applet to walk you through the use of the feature.
SETTING UP A CALL
You need at least one secondary monitor to access the Application Desktop you assign to it using the
Workspaces menu (as disccussed in the earlier section on Workspaces ).

secondary monitor. Your video conferencing
application(s) and the system default browser
will appear in your task bar. Click on your
preferred app’s icon, and join a meeting or
display a web page in the usual manner for that
application.
