Q
Can I turn-off the automatic pop-up?
Yes you can, as this is a setting you apply during your creation process.

Q
Will dial-up users be able to view these?
There's no getting around it, loading any kind of video with a dial-up connection is a poor user experience, so Bubble Guru uses a special "behind-the-scenes" bandwidth sniffer that automatically checks to see if you have the minimum bandwidth requirements to play a Bubble Guru message. If not, it simply doesn't load the Bubble Guru video message.
