Some tips for streaming videos successfully in class include:
1. Speed: Close any applications you’re not using on your computer, or other browser tabs. If you have too many applications open, your computer may run slowly.
2. Pre-load: Open the video in advance. If you are able to access your magazine’s website prior to teaching, you can do this by simply clicking play and then pressing pause. When the video player is in paused mode, the video will continue to load. When you are ready to begin your lesson, simply press play to begin the video. You can do this hours in advance or just a few minutes prior to your lesson.
3. Firewall: If you are still having trouble watching videos, your school's internet firewall may be preventing you from watching them. To access our video content, ask your systems administrator to allow access to all the URLs on this page.
4. Browser: If you receive the message “Video stream is currently unavailable,” try playing it in another browser or clearing your browser’s cache. To clear your cache:
