Cornell Mac 1.0 Users Guide
The purpose of this guide is to help users quickly set up their Cornell Video Conferencing Software so they can quickly and efficiently begin conferencing with out hours of trying to connect and ask people on the reflectors for help.
that's so annoying!
you need to get to the preferences.
You should see a "LOCAL" video window and a "Chat" window and a

The third button the RED one allows you to pause (stop) your video. It freezes the pictures. (I call it the 'I have to pick my nose feature).
The button on the far right is VERY important!. It allows you to set up ALL of the other Preferences!
When you open the preferences using the far right button, you should see your local video frame look like this:
