System Requirements

This event uses a web-based streaming platform to eliminate the need for client downloads (unless a live session specifically uses a different services such as Zoom, Webex, etc). Below are the browsers that support the platform.

The following system requirements are needed to join a session:

You can check to see if your system can use the Virtual Experience with this Quick Tech Check. 

• Windows 7 and above, running Chrome, Firefox or Edge. Internet Explorer is not supported 
• MacOS 10.9 or later, running Chrome and Firefox. Safari not supported 
• iPhone 5S or later, running iOS 11 and up 
• Android 4.0 or later, running Chrome

Please note, additional devices may successfully connect, but are not officially supported.

The sound is coming out of a different device than I want - what can I do?

To toggle between multiple outputs connected to your device (e.g. internal speakers, headphones and AirPlay), click the gear icon ⚙️on the top right of the live-streamed session. You will then be able to select which output and input devices should be used.

The output device I want to use isn't showing up - how can I fix this?

First, check the physical connection to your device, by either unplugging and re-connecting your physical headphones, or toggling bluetooth on and off. 

If you are confident that the output device is connected correctly, check your system preferences to ensure your computer recognizes the device. On a Windows device, click the loudspeaker  icon on the bottom right of your screen, and you'll be able to change output device. On a Mac, visit System Preferences > Sound to choose your output devices.

My devices are connected properly, but I can't hear anything!

• Disconnect from a work VPN. Sometimes the VPN or Firewall is blocking the audio.
• Browser extensions (especially security related extensions) can block a lot of things. Try to disable all extensions and test.
• It could be your audio settings in the platform. You should see 3 vertical dots in the bar above the chat/video. If you click that you will see "Settings". In that dialogue box, you can "select audio output". It could have defaulted to the wrong output.
• If you're confident everything is connected properly, your devices might be being used by another tool or application. Make sure tools like Zoom, Google Hangouts, Go To Meeting etc. have been closed prior to starting the session.

I'm still experiencing issues - any final steps?

If you're still having issues, first send in your support logs by hitting the ⚙️in the top right, then "submit support logs" on the bottom left. Next try restarting your computer and trying again.
