You will need a connection to the Internet, a Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 or better is recommended), sound card and speakers, as well as an installed media player. In addition, you will need to disable your pop-up blockers.
Before you access any webcast for the first time you should ensure that your browser is configured to stream media. For audio events you will need a minimum Internet connection of 28.8 Kbps and above. For video events you will need a minimum Internet connection of 300 Kbps and above.
Test your system.
To maximize your webcast viewing experience, we recommend joining the webcast about 10-15 minutes before it begins, to make sure your computer is configured properly.
In addition:
- Connect to the network using a wired connection. Wireless may not work well.
- Close any other applications that you have open (email, other browser windows, etc.).
- Disable your pop-up blockers.
Please note: Some corporate networks do not allow streaming media. If you suspect this is the case, once you launch the presentation and the webcast interface opens, click the telephone icon and listen via conference call.
(To be eligible for CPE credit when listening to a webcast via conference call, you must be logged into the live webcast to view slides and respond to poll questions. Due to NASBA participation requirements, we are unable to issue CPE for those who are only listening via conference call.)
