You’ll know if this may be applicable to you if clicking the link results in an error page stating that the requested content or page could not be found.

Windows Requirements: For best results, it is recommended that Windows users have Microsoft Windows 2003, XP, Vista or 2008, and use Internet Explorer version 7.0 or later, Firefox 2.0 or later, or Google Chrome 1.0 or later. Windows computers come with Windows Media Player pre-installed and you should confirm that it is version 9.0 or later. If you’re using Microsoft’s Silverlight Players, version 3.0 or later is preferred. You may download the most current versions of Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and Silverlight Player free-of-charge at www.microsoft.com
Internet Requirements: Webcasts will look and sound best when viewed over a broadband Internet connection of 300kbps or greater sustained bandwidth. You can confirm your available bandwidth by running the bandwidth test available at www.speedtest.net
Firewall Requirements: Some corporate network administrators block streaming media at the network firewall. If you are unable to view streaming video, you may need to notify your network/IT administrator that you wish to participate in a webcast. Please advise them that the following firewall ports may need to be opened for proper webcast viewing: TCP/80, TCP/1755, UDP/1755, TCP/554, and UDP/554
