Webcast Help
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows Media Player
|
You will need Windows Media Player 6.4 or above for the video to play. If your computer does not have this installed please download it for free from http://www.windowsmedia.com/download. |
|
You will need Internet Explorer 5 or above to view the web pages for this event. If you need to install it, you can download it free from http://www.microsoft.com/ie/. | |
 |
To get the full functionality of the webcast in Firefox you will need to have the ActiveX plug-in installed. The process for doing this is detailed on this page: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213#FF_1 |
Hardware
You will obviously also need a sound card and speakers. Most PC's have this
capability. If you are unsure, please ask your system administrator.
Display
You will need a screen size of at least 800 x 600. If you have not, you can
reset this by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting properties. This
will open "Display Properties". Go to the "Settings" tab and move the slider in
the bottom right along to the right to 800 x 600.
Firewalls
If you are on a corporate LAN, you will most likely be behind a firewall (a
device which forbids certain traffic from entering the network). Usually this
is not a problem as our software can send the audio the same way that web pages
are delivered however some companies prefer to block this from happening. In
short, you need to configure Windows Media Player to allow access over HTTP. If
you are experiencing problems related to this, please contact your system
administrator. Feel free to pass on our details to them so we can help
troubleshoot the problems.
Projecting onto a large screen
If you would like to project the video screen, right click on video window and
click zoom for full screen size.
