Additional Notes
Silverlight – If you’re using Microsoft’s Silverlight Players or a browser that uses the Silverlight Plugin (such as FireFox or Google Chrome), you must have Silverlight version 5.0 or later installed. You can download Silverlight for free at: http://www.microsoft.com/
Internet – Webcasts will look and sound best when viewed over a broadband Internet connection of 750kbps or greater sustained bandwidth. You can confirm your available bandwidth for free by running the bandwidth test available at www.speedtest.net
Network Firewall Considerations – Some network administrators block streaming media at the firewall. If you are unable to view streaming video, you may need to notify your network/IT administrator. The following firewall ports may need to be opened for proper webcast viewing: TCP/80, TCP/1755, UDP/1755, TCP/554, and UDP/554. Packet shapers, VPN’s, and/or proxy servers can also cause adverse effects on live streaming. These should be bypassed if possible. Additionally, streaming may be blocked if firewalls deny the MMS or RTSP protocol. Some network security policies restrict or filter content based on site URL (this is sometimes referred to as “white listing” a domain). Webcast content will be served from the yorkcast.com andakamai.net domains and traffic from both domains need to be allowed.
