Q: Why is the sound working but the video is freezing? A: This is usually because of network congestion. Network congestion manifests itself in different ways: • The sound works continuously, but the video freezes. • The program continually stops and rebuffers. • The player automatically stops, requiring you to click Play again to resume. The media player automatically stops, or it continually stops and rebuffers. Network congestion can occur at any time due to the following problems: • If you are connecting to the Internet through a slow connection, or over a congested wi- or cellular (mobile) network. • You are trying to access an event during peak Internet trafc hours. • You are connecting to the Internet from a mobile device. • There is heavy trafc on your company network. • To alleviate network congestion, you may want to consider the following:• Upgrade to a faster connection.• Minimize the number of applications you are running while accessing the event• Try accessing the event during an off-peak Internet trafc period. To alleviate these problems, consider reducing the number of applications you have running. If you are accessing an on-demand event, try accessing the presentation at a later time when network congestion may have lessened.Q: I can’t hear anything (or the sound is very faint).A: Please make sure you have an up-to-date browser such as Chrome or Edge, that your speakers are connected, and that the volume is turned on by clicking over to an alternative website (like YouTube).Verify that your speakers are plugged into the power outlet, turned on and up, and connected to the audio port of the computer. Your speakers or headphones must be plugged into the sound card, not into the sound-out jack of the CD-ROM drive. If you still cannot hear any audio, check your system volume settings and the volume on the media player. If your system is properly set up, then try adjusting the system volume settings: • Click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. • Double-click on the multimedia icon. • On the audio tab, turn up the volume. • If it is grayed out, this is an indication that the system is not congured for sound.Q: I can access the event but I cannot view the slides (or the slides are not ipping). A: Try refreshing the presentation by either hitting F5 on your keyboard or closing out and relaunching the presentation.If the event has already started, please wait a few moments. The slides are either synchronized with the event or are user-controlled and can be ipped using controls located below the slides.19Register at EatingRecoveryCenter.com/Conference
Q: My computer crashes when I try to access the event.A: Try clearing your browser’s cache and restart the event.Q: I can’t see the test video. A: Your media player may not be installed correctly, or your player may not be congured to stream the format of the event. Verify that the player has been installed correctly and check the player settings to verify that it is set up to receive the stream format.Q: The video is choppy. A: Video may be received in a choppy format due to network congestion. Please try refreshing your browser.Wonderful presentation. This is a concept I knew a little about but it opened my eyes signicantly to skills I need to further explore, learn and practice. WOW! Walked away motivated and encouraged and ready to do some more professional development in this area.— Erika 20
