Tips for a Better Webcast Experience:
- To view webcasts and streaming videos your computer must meet some minimum system requirements.
The videos are best viewed using Microsoft's Windows Media Player™. You will need to have Windows Media
Player v.7 or higher installed. If you have a newer PC you probably already have the player installed as part
of the Windows operating system. If you're running an older PC, or if you use a Macintosh, you will need to
download and install the player. Here is a link to the Microsoft Media Player website to help you determine
which version of Media Player is right for your computer.

- Hi-Speed connection - Viewers with faster and more consistent connections will have a better viewing experience.
It is recommended that your connection can support at least a 256 kbps download speed.
You can test your connection speed at this page:

***IMPORTANT*** Do you have a firewall or router? ***IMPORTANT***
It is possible that your firewall may block the stream or that your router may not pass the stream correctly.
If you cannot connect, try temporarily disabling the firewall to see if that is the problem or have your network administrator look into it. Your network administrator may have to check into the router setup as well if it is
determined to be the cause.
- Bandwidth from wireless connections will not be as stable
or consistent
as bandwidth through an ethernet cable.
If you are viewing the webcast with a laptop, it is recommended
that you plug into a data port with an ethernet cable.
Common Problems:
- Corporate and Personal Firewalls
Contact your company network administrator or review
your personal firewall settings to insure they do not interfere.
- Browser Security Settings
Browser security settings can interfere with loading the Media Player Viewer.
- Software running in the background
It is recommended that when viewing the Webcast, you close other
software programs– particularly any applications that access the internet.
-How can I resize the screen?
- The stream is transmitted at 320x240 pixels to work within bandwidth limitations.
To stretch the window to fullscreen, right-click in the viewing area of the media
player and a menu will appear. Select 'zoom' and then select 'fullscreen'.
*You can only zoom to fullscreen when something is playing in the media player,
otherwise the zoom option will be grayed out.
Fullscreen mode may affect your computer's performance.
You can also make the media player appear larger by lowering the screen resolution of your monitor.
Lowering the screen resolution of your monitor will not affect your computer's performance.
- "I hear the meeting but the screen is black or blank, or the motion is choppy"
This typically indicates a lack of bandwidth.
- Lost the connection
Try refreshing the page in the web browser, or hitting the 'play' button again on your media player.
This may or may not work depending on the problem.
Please contact ebrown@cobar.org for technical support.

of your continuing legal education needs.
