Saludo First aid for scanning problems
Where can I find the manual for Saludo Scanning & Badges?
Documentation, videos and useful links can be found on the Help & Service area of our website. Check invitado.nl/en/support/saludo for tutorials on both the desktop version and the mobile Saludo app. You can find them in the grey bar on the left.
What is the url of Saludo Scanning & Badges management environment?
You can find Saludo's backend at saludo.invitado.nl. You log in with your Acceso account. Also from Acceso, you can access the Saludo management environment via the My apps button (top right in the menu bar).
How do I access the operating system of the scanning laptop?
The Windows password of the scanning laptop is sc@nner. Accessing the laptop does not give access to personal data. This data is stored encrypted and can only be accessed via the scanning software and with a valid Saludo account.
Where can I find the scanning software?
I want to scan. How do I log in?
You log in with a QR code you received via Invitado. If you have lost it or have not received a QR code, you can find it in the Saludo management environment. In the left-hand column, go to Scanners and select the scanner you want to use in the overview. At the bottom of the page you will find the QR code that can be used to log in. You can download or print the QR code.
Why is the scanning system locked and how can I scan again?
For security reasons, the scanning software is locked if it has not been used for some time. To unlock it, you need the QR code you received from Invitado or the organisation. Scan this QR code and you can scan again.
I scan the QR code to log in, but cannot access Saludo. What now?
Check whether CAPS LOCK is activated. If so, switch it off by pressing the Caps Lock key again. Try scanning the QR code again.
If this does not solve the problem, check in the laptop's Windows settings whether Dutch, US or US International is selected for the keyboard layout. This can be found via the ⊞-key, Settings, Time and language, Language, Keyboard. If not, choose one of the three listed layouts and scan the QR code again.
I can't find a guest in Saludo, what can I do?
In Puerto, check whether the guest meets the conditions to be synchronised with this scanning station. If not, update this and save the guest again. If the scan station is connected to the internet, the change should be synchronised within a maximum of 10 seconds. Scan the guest again. If the guest is again not found, contact Invitado.
Why doesn't a badge or badge sticker come out of the printer with a green scan screen and a valid e-ticket?
Check that the printer is connected to the scanning station and turned on. The status bar on the right will then say Ready to print. If not, reconnect the printer. This is done by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. Depending on the settings (e.g. because a guest does not get a new badge the second time he scans), you can reprint a badge via reprint, at the bottom left of the screen.
Transmisión Livestreams for participants
Who is this FAQ for?
If you participate in an online event that is broadcasted via Transmisión Livestreams, you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions below.
How do I get to the website of the event?
You can reach the event portal via the personal participation link that you received by e-mail. If this doesn't work, copy the link from the email in the address bar of your browser.
Which internet browser do I need to participate?
The portal functions on all common browsers. Internet Explorer is therefore not supported. Depending on your device, we recommend a current version of one of the following browsers:
Windows
Chrome, Firefox or Edge
Mac
Chrome, Firefox or Safari
iPhone/iPad
Safari
Android
Chrome or Firefox
At the start of your participation, your browser will be checked and you will be given instructions on how to update if necessary. Do you want to check this yourself in advance? These are the minimum version numbers for each internet browser:
Edge 79
Chrome 78
Firefox 60
Safari 12
The video or stream does not start.
Some browsers do not allow the video player to start automatically. This can even differ from user to user. In the video section (usually a black area) you can start the video or livestream yourself with the play button that appears on the screen. If you see the video but hear no sound, you need to unmute your player. You do this by moving your cursor over the image. At the bottom left you will see a speaker icon with which you can switch on the sound and manage the volume.
I can see images, but hear nothing. What can I do about it?
Depending on the cause, different solutions are possible:
- Move your mouse in the window with the moving image. Your browser may have muted the sound by default. A speaker icon appears at the bottom left with which you can switch on the sound
- Check if the sound from your computer is on and loud enough
- Refresh your screen (on most computers with F5)
- Close your browser and restart it via your participation link
- And just to be sure: if you want to hear the sound through your speakers, haven't you connected any earphones that prevent that?
The event just started, but I still see 'Waiting for host...'
You can refresh your screen (on most computers you do this via F5) or close your browser and reopen it via your participation link.
The page keeps loading but no connection is established.
Refresh the page with a key combination or (if available) with the physical refresh key of your device:
Windows: [F5], [CTRL F5], [CTRL Shift R], [Refresh] and / or [CTRL Refresh]
Apple: [⌘ R], [Refresh], [Shift Refresh]
Chromebook: [Refresh], [CTRL Refresh]
If this does not help, view the possible causes and solutions on this page.
I get a message about 'hardware acceleration'. What can I do?
In many cases this is due to the settings of your browser. Go to Settings and change the appropriate setting. In Chrome you will find this under Advanced and then System. In Firefox under the heading Performance. Change the setting. If this doesn't fix the problem, reset the setting and check again. If the problem persists, the platform cannot be used on your device.
My camera switches itself off after the check, why is this?
That's because we only activate the camera when necessary.
The technical check indicates that there are problems with my microphone or camera, what can I do about this?
Click in the URL bar of your browser on the lock in front of the internet address. There you can allow the use of your camera and microphone. Then click on the settings button at the top right and run the test again. If multiple choices are available, try choosing a different camera and / or microphone in the pull-downs.
The stream keeps buffering or I get an error message when I click on the participation link.
We automatically adjust the quality of image and sound to your connection. If you're having problems, your internet connection is currently not strong enough for the lowest quality. Can you connect to the internet in another way, via a cable or directly (and not via a VPN or Citrix connection)?
The chat is gone, how do I get it back?
It may be that the sidebar is disabled by the organisation. Otherwise, if you move your mouse over the screen, you will see a round button at the bottom with one large and three smaller squares. This allows you to show and hide the chat and Q&A sidebar. If you click on this again, the sidebar will come back.
Can I attend with several people at the same time?
The participation link is unique and personal, so it can only be used on one device at a time. You can of course watch one screen with several people ;-)
Is there a helpdesk available?
During the event, a helpdesk is available for technical questions. You can reach the helpdesk via the link in the confirmation email you received, or via the button with the question mark at the top right of the event portal screen.
How do I attend another session?
If the organization offers the possibility to switch sessions during the event, you can do this via the 'Switch sessions'-button at the top right of the platform screen.
