Linden Lab Official:Voice Chat Privacy

Line 6:		Line 6:
	==Security==		==Security==

	~~===Private calls===~~		All voice chat is encrypted and is processed and mixed by servers maintained by Linden Lab. This includes peer-to-peer private calls, spatial, group, and conference calls. The data passed from Resident to Resident by the voice servers is limited to audio, audio level data, and connection status. Identifying information, such as IP addresses, is not passed between the Residents by the voice servers. Linden Lab does not monitor or log spatial chat conversations unless we are troubleshooting quality or technical performance issues.

	~~Private calls between two Residents are ''not''~~ encrypted~~. However, the call does not pass through any~~ Linden Lab ~~or Vivox servers; they are conducted on a peer-to-~~peer ~~basis between the two computers involved. "Peer~~-to-peer~~" means that when you initiate a~~ private ~~voice call~~, ~~your computer connects directly~~ to the ~~other computer for the purposes of~~ voice ~~communication~~.

	~~===Spatial voice chat===~~

	~~Spatial voice chat~~, ~~meaning public voice chat with people who are near you inworld~~, is ~~processed and mixed on~~ servers ~~maintained by Vivox~~. Linden Lab ~~and Vivox do~~ not monitor or log spatial chat conversations unless we are troubleshooting quality or technical performance issues.

	If you decide to become a landowner, see https://land.secondlife.com/ for details. In general, for one private region in Second Life (or what is sometimes called an “island”), there is a one-time setup fee and then ongoing monthly maintenance fees, depending on the type of region selected. One region is the equivalent of roughly 0.025 square miles—or 16 square acres—in the physical world. Once your organization owns virtual land, you can then create buildings, meeting spaces, and social spaces yourself (if your organization has Second Life building skills in-house). You can also choose an inworld developer, who can help you plan, design, and create your space. Depending on the size and sophistication of your space, you can think of it like the cost of building a website; it can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to the mid-six figures and beyond.

	Any organization or individual can buy a [http://secondlife.com/land/privatepricing.php Region] in Second Life which gives your Second Life administrator the option of opening the space to the public or setting it to private. The Region’s standard administrative tools enable its owner (and designated managers) to create an access list, by individual or group, ensuring that only approved users can enter the Region. A Private Region is also secure from eavesdropping; the ~~Region is~~ surrounded by a secure perimeter (represented by water at the edge of the region) that cannot be crossed by walking, running, flying, or zooming a camera.

	Upon registration, Second Life users choose a “username” (unique to each user) and a “display name” (which can be changed, and is not unique to that particular user). If your organization would like to share a surname, this can best be done by altering each avatar’s “display name.” For example, although one of your students might register as sally.johnson, their display name can be changed to Sally USC or Sally FloridaState (or another name that aligns with the common surname you would like for your organization). For more information, see [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Display-names/ta-p/700173 Display Names].

	Each region can run optimally with roughly 60 avatars before performance suffers and 100 is the recommended limit. Factors that can affect performance include how complicated the environment is and the intricacy of avatar clothing. To create an environment that can hold more people, we suggest that conference spaces are built at a four-corners area of four separate regions. Doing this, an event can hold roughly 200-300 avatars. If you require more employees to participate in an inworld event, Second Life can easily be streamed live to the web, which means that thousands of people globally can participate in an inworld event through both video and chat.

	Building objects in Second Life is easy to do. Highly flexible building tools allow manipulation of geometric primitives in a simple interface. Stretch these “prims” into new shapes, change their texture and physical qualities, link them to other prims. From this easy–to–learn process, you can create objects of all kinds and sizes, from a simple box to a five hundred meter skyscraper. Then, you can overlay textures on top of these prims—such as a wood texture to make a wood box or a brick texture for a brick wall. There are may tutorials and inworld lessons that you can find—both from Lindens and inworld experts—that can help you get started.		Building objects in Second Life is easy to do.
