1. How do I know if I'm connected to the Internet Conference?

For RealPlayer:  When you type in your User Name and Password and press enter, you will see a "buffering" message in the video window

OR

For Windows Media Player: You will see an animated flying window. 

Once you're connected to the broadcast, a slide may appear letting you know the event is beginning. For a Live Presentation you may see an "idle loop" in the video window until the presentation starts. If background music is provided, you will hear it playing.  For an Archived Presentation, your presentation will start right away.

3. I am able to log into the Internet Conference but nothing is happening. Why?

• Did you try the System Checkout before this event?
• Did you install the proper video player?
• Can you go to other Web sites and play streaming media?
• If there's a server problem, you may see a "cannot log in" message. Wait a few minutes and try again. 

If you are still unable to connect to the Web Conference, make sure you check all your options above and if the problem persists, contact customer support. If you successfully connect, but never see the slide presentation or hear the audio, close your browser and try again.

4. What should I do if I'm disconnected from the Internet Conference?

If you disconnect by closing the browser window, restart your browser and enter the broadcast URL. Then log in to the broadcast again. If you're accidentally disconnected (for example, the ISP dropped the connection or online traffic disrupts the connection), or the window loses focus before the broadcast ends, or an error message appears, and you can refresh your browser to reconnect.
