General Recommendations

Our video server is powered by a HTML5-based web application. This means that you are not required to install any software or plug-in in order to join our webinars because it runs within your web browser. You should be able to use any recent versions of any of the major browsers, including Chrome, FireFox and Safari to join our webinars.

During the webinar, it is good practice to remain muted because in quiet environments your computer will raise the gain of your microphone and transmit noise to the other participants. Furthermore, if more than two participants are unmuted, there could occur a feedback, which reproduces a loud noise to every participant.

During a webinar, if you are not speaking, it may also be a good idea to turn your video off, to save bandwidth and improve your experience (improve the video stream and sound quality).

The instructions on this page is broadly split into (a) Join a Webinar (b) Webinar controls (c) Breakout Rooms.
