#cBoard - help
## Overview
cBoard is a one-way communication board.
The {primary} views the cBoard, while {others} edit content for them.
cBoard will:
* show the current time of day
* show the next up-coming event
* show a random slideshow of images with captions
* show a random tip of useful information
* go dark at night, and bright during the date
* will continue showing current information while offline
* allow a two way video chat
* change background colours randomly
## Access
All {people} are identified by a single first name (Alice, Bob, Clare, David etc..)
Each {primary} has a {secret} that must be used by all {others} of their cBoard.
All {others} must know the {primary}'s {secret}.
The {contact} is the first person to setup a cBoard on behalf of a {primary}
##First-time setup
The {contact} will enter
* the {primary}
* the {secret}
* an email address used for all cBoard communication
* the {others}
##Editing
All {people} who can access a cBoard can add and edit
* a simple calendar of events
* a list of tips
* a list of {people} who can access cBoard
* a list of images and their captions
They can also turn on and off
* random colours
* video chat
##Images
Images are uploaded from the local computer so save it there first.
You can rename the image with its caption or rename it after uploading.
Examples are
* Bob and Alice on a swing.jpg
* Alice\_beside\_the\_looking\_glass.png
* Clare walking in the garden.gif
Uploaded images are automatically scaled down to display well on screens
Images can have their captions changed and be deleted at any time
##Video chat
If you enable video chat then anyone who can access the {primary}'s cBoard can initiate a video chat.
The video chat starts within 10 seconds if both computers are capable of video chat.
No input is required by the {primary} to answer the call, so make sure you have their consent to spontaneously start a video chat.
Hanging up or closing your browser will end the video chart for the {primary}
