Tips for Using Purple Virtual World
- A headset or earbuds are strongly recommended to reduce the possibility of echo or feedback.
- You can only communicate with users who are in the same location as you. For example, if you’re in the auditorium and someone else is in the Conference Hall, you won’t be able to hear each other.
- You can hold down the 1 key on your keyboard to talk if you don’t want your microphone on all the time.
- Often, problems can be resolved by restarting the World. If you can’t quit normally, try typing /exit in the chat window. This should immediately close the World.
- You can dance and do other animations if you want! Click your name on the top left of the screen to see some of the things you can have your avatar do. This can be a fun and effective way to communicate non-verbally.
- If other users are in the same space as you, you’ll see their names in a list in the top left. To see where all the users in the Campus are, though, you can click the gear icon in the top right and then select “Find Users”.
