Etendi.com recently released a new version of BRIDGE with a new video configuration wizard and an updated settings panel. The first time you record a video or start a video chat with someone you will be prompted to run the video settings wizard. The video settings wizard will guide you through a few short steps to help you configure your audio and video settings. Running this wizard before first-time video chat will help ensure that you don’t struggle with horrible feedback loops or difficult to hear audio when you enter video chat for the first time.

If you want to change any of your video settings after running the wizard, etendi BRIDGE has improved its video settings window, too. In addition to the volume and microphone controls, the settings dialog can now record sounds for you to test your configuration. Record and playback sounds as many times as you like until you find settings that work. Additionally, the video settings dialog now allows you to select and test your camera. You no longer have to record a video or enter video chat to see if you’re camera is working, simply open the settings window and if you see an image from your camera in the window you know it’s working.
