Hi
Yes it is MAC compatible - the function today will allow MAC users to text chat, listen, use their macs to speak and see the content pushed through the co-browser. Additional functions, now available with the Windows plugin, will be added in the future - some in the very near future. We realize accessibility is not as strong for MAC users today and that it one area we will focus on improving. 

The instructions are very simple. It does require Java 1.5 or newer. No plugin will is required. Load the logon page into the browser and choose the link the use the "webclient (or it might say web based conference). Enter the User Name and the non-moderator password (leave the password blank if a password has not been set up) and click "log in".  The MAC users will then  be in the room as a non-moderator  - they can't be moderators with the current version.

There is also a MAC plugin available. When a MAC user downloads and installs a plugin it will install the MAC version of the plugin. Currently this will have the same function as the Web Client - there is currently some issues with the audio.  Our objective is to hopefully accomplish all we need to do with the Web Client but because it is a web application running under Java that may not be possible - the missing pieces will be provided via the MAC client.

At this time I would recommend using the web client. I have not included the instructions for the MAC client.

Good Day to All: I am inquiring about
the Accessible World Chat/conference Room, wondering if it
is Macintosh-compatible, and are there instructions for
setting it up, if so? thanks in advance.
Sincerely, Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
