Tips for Viewing the Webcast
Webcast Download Tips:
You are downloading a live streaming video file when watching a webcast. YOU MUST HAVE A WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER LOADED ON YOUR OWN COMPUTER TO WATCH A VIDEO FILE ON THE WEBCAST. There are free downloads available if you do not have this software for both PCs and MACs.
You may need to reconfigure security or privacy settings so you can access a webcast. High security settings or firewalls may block your downloading efforts. Most people set their security to a ''''''''medium'''''''' level when watching a webcast. Because you are viewing the webcast with a windows media player, and will need to use an internet browser that supports a WMP.
If your computer asks if you '''''allow access''''' to our website, the answer should be YES. You can add Galloping Video to your TRUSTED SITES on your home computer through the control panel> internet security options. Other connectivity issues might be solved through opening your toolbar, internet options and changing your privacy/filter settings. If you are having problems staying connected, turn off any other functions you are running on your computer, as you may be slowing it down.
For streaming video, high speed or DSL connections work best. If your picture continually freezes up you may be having a speed problem. If you don'''''t have enough bandwidth from your internet provider or there is alot of traffic on the internet, streaming video can be disrupted. It'''''s a recommended to hit the refresh key and clear your cache from time to time.
You should be able to view our live video webcast at a 141 kpbs dowload speed. You can click on the video and bring up a menu that includes '''properties''' to check that you are at 141 kbps. You have several options to control volume, and picture size on most home computers through your control panel. The windows media viewer opens the video to the optimum size and quality for the kbps speed you are recieving, but if you right click on the viewer you can use a zoom or full page option. There are also audio settings also on your wmp that can be adjusted.
If you are watching at work there also may be corporate firewall issues and security measures that prevent downloading the webcast file.
