We recommend testing your browser as soon as possible in case you need to contact your IT department for help.

• It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser.
• Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
• Make sure that your internet browser is Active X enabled.
• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
