WHAT DO I NEED TO PARTICIPATE?

Take the following test: http://events.commpartners.com/webcasts/browsertest/

Device: It’s best to use a computer or laptop that has an updated internet browser.

Speakers: Sound is projected through your computer speakers, so make sure they work to hear the presenters.

Internet: It’s best to use a wired internet connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth, providing a better experience. Wifi is not recommended because the signal strength can vary.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari are the recommended browsers. Do not use Internet Explorer. Your browser must support HTML-5. To detect your browser version, run: https://whichbrowser.net 

IP Addresses and Ports to Allow for HTML5 - Provide these to your IT department if the webcast is blocked: 72.32.161.112 port 80, 443 (web and audio) 72.32.200.104 port 80, 443 (web and audio) 72.32.221.65 ports 80, 443 (web and audio) 72.32.221.66 ports 80, 443 (web and audio) 67.203.7.114 ports 80, 443 (web and audio)

WHAT IF I CAN'T ATTEND THE LIVE EVENTS?

All keynotes and workshops will be posted within a 5-7 business days after June 13. The process will be similar to how you login for the live programs, but you will be able to view the recordings at your convenience through December 31, 2023.



I am in the session but the video froze/I can’t hear the audio. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you are not able to hear any audio through your computer speakers, first check to make sure your speakers are not muted or turned off. The next step is to refresh your screen by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard or clicking the “refresh” button in your web browser. Still no luck? Close the browse and open a new one. Last resort is to reboot your computer.

If you are having trouble viewing the video or the chat and you are connected to a VPN, try disconnecting from the VPN (if possible) and reloading the page to see if that helps.



HOW DO I ACCESS CLOSED CAPTIONING (CC)? 

Sessions will take place on a streaming site. There will be tabs on the right side of the screen to access chat, photo uploads, emojis, and a CC function. The CC tab will open up its own area where you can see real-time transcription which is being typed live by a professional captioner. Post-conference, a PDF of the transcript will be added to each of the sessions’ pages (on the summit site) under Resources & Links.

Yoga with Ira and Tick, Tock, Talk will take place in Zoom and will have captioning enabled. On the bottom of the screen there will be a CC Transcript button which will give you options such as turning it on and off. 



HOW DO I PRINT RECEIPTS? 
  1. Sign into your Association account on https://theaawa.org/
  2. Under For Members at the top of the page, click on Payments & History
  3. Make sure the Stores & Events tab is selected
  4. Set the Filter by status dropdown to Any Status
  5. The icon to the left of the order date will allow you to view/print your receipt.

  • CAWA CEs
