Things to Remember• Configuration and Setup does not have to be

run every time you attend an Elluminate session. It must be done on the computer you will use to attend at least once, or after any changes to audio configurations or Internet accessibility.

• Please do this several days in advance of your first Elluminate session to allow time for technical assistance – if needed.
