Technical Issues

  • My webcast / on-demand video doesn't seem to load, or all I see is a black box You may need to wait a while for the video to preload. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection and your geographic location, the load time can vary. A faster Internet connection (high speed internet/DSL) will result in greater throughput, allowing you to watch the streams without any lag or buffering delays. However, slow connections will receive buffering delays, including lagging video and stuttering. On a broadband connection, the average wait time before the video starts can be 10-30 seconds. If the video does not start after a full two minutes, it is likely that the video may be temporarily offline or broken, in which case please contact Technical Support.
  • When I click "Watch Now," I get a screen saying my program has not started, even though it has This may occur if you've previously clicked "Watch Now" before a program started. Your browser has stored, or cached, the information from that previous visit. To re-load all the page's information, perform a "hard refresh" on the page (Ctrl+F5 for PC; Shift+Command+R for Mac).
  • When I launch a webcast I get a message saying, "The video you are trying to watch is currently unavailable." This means the video stream from the live program has not started yet. It is related to the broadcast crew getting the web stream "streaming." There are two different solutions: Close the browser window and try again in a few minutes until the stream is working. Leave the browser window active and every few minutes press the F5 or Ctrl+F5 key(s) to refresh the browser window. When the stream is live, the message will disappear.
  • I can't navigate the webcast using the slider control These features will not work for a live webcast or webcast replay. For on-demand and archive videos, you can use the slider control to navigate the playback. This feature requires high bandwidth. Just click in the progress bar and the video will navigate forward or backward in the video.
  • I can't hear any sound First, check the volume control on your PC and make sure it is not set to mute. If you have headphones or external speakers, make sure they are plugged in.
  • My screen is blank Check your computer’s time to be sure it is correct and is set to the proper time zone. The time should be the same as your cell phone’s time.
  • Why do I hear an echo? Make sure you don't have multiple windows open playing the same webcast; this can create an echoing sound.
  • The video was working but now has gone black This can occur when the video window has been moved around the screen or when opening documents over the video window. Click on the Video Window and press F5 to refresh it. The page will reload and the video should now work again.
  • How do I change my screen resolution? To change the screen resolution of your computer, right click in an empty portion of the Desktop and select Properties. Depending upon your monitor, you may be able to increase and decrease the screen resolution on the Settings tab.
  • My computer won't allow me to install Adobe Reader. What do I do? Your firm might have restrictions in place so that users can't install programs on their computers. You should contact your IT department for further assistance in this case.
  • The webcast pauses frequently while I view it. What do I do? This is most commonly due to a lack of sufficient bandwidth on the customer's end. In these cases, the bandwidth available at the customer's end is just being over-utilized and there is not much you can do to eliminate the pauses. If possible, move to another high-speed Internet connection point and reconnect to the webcast. You may also need to contact your IT department for further assistance.
  • I can't view the webcast at the designated time. Can I view it later? No. These are LIVE webcasts. They can be viewed only at the time indicated. Live webcasts are available at a later time as webcast replays and can be purchased and viewed at those designated times.
