Links to the World Wide Web

A session announcement can contain an Uniform Resource Locator (URL) as a link to related information in the world wide web. The preferences menu determines how sdr follows such references - three options are supported:

If you have an colour display of depth 8 bits, using the built in browser is recommended as external browsers use a significant number of the 256 available colours, leaving you with few colours remaining for any tools you wish to use in a multimedia conference. If you have a 24bit display, external browsers are likely to provide you with better performance and prettier displays than the built-in browser. When creating a session, it is recommended that the URL be tested (using the Test button) as typing mistakes here will make the URL useless.
