Audio Settings
To optimize your NEXI experience, your audio devices (microphone and speaker) are set using
your PC’s Sound property settings. Hover over each audio device and a tooltip box to display
the device settings for the Microphone, Speaker, or Ringing Device on your PC. A typical desk
with a Plantronics Savi headset should display the following settings:
NOTE: If you need assistance to update the settings, enter an SDSK to keyword PC Settings
Managing Audio Devices
1. To manage the audio devices on your PC, right click the speaker icon on the right side of
your Windows taskbar, or click the magnifying glass on the left side, search on “sound”,
and select the Sound option:
2. At a typical Bloomberg desk, the Plantronics Savi headset is set as the primary playback
and recording device, as shown here:
3. If you connect headphones via the Bloomberg keyboard or PC, you must change your
settings to set the keyboard or PC as the Default Device, and the headset as the Default
Communications Device. NEXI will always set the microphone and speaker as the
Default Communications Device if you use additional devices. To do this, right click one
of the enabled devices and select either Set as Default Device or Set as Default
Communications Device.
NOTE: The Bloomberg Keyboard also has a built-in microphone; however it is strongly advised
that if the microphone is enabled as the Default Communications Device, right click to disable it
and select your headset device.
Camera Settings
To check your camera settings, click the Settings icon in the upper right corner of the NEXI
main screen, then click the Audio/Video icon to display your audio/visual settings.
A preview of your camera is available to verify if NEXI detects the camera.
A checkbox is available to Allow remote camera control, which enables other users to
adjust your camera if you are sitting off center or otherwise not visible.
NOTE: This
function is only available during a call, and is intended to provide minor adjustments for
the convenience of others speaking to you.
Notification Sounds
When you are on a NEXI call, you may want to mute the chime sound, which indicates when
people join or leave the call.
In the Audio/Video section, uncheck Enable notification sounds
to mute the notifications.
