While we recommend certain platforms and web browsers, many other operating systems and web browsers can successfully stream videos. For example, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are both known to work on many platforms. Please note that not all features are available to all web browsers on all platforms.

Video streaming may require the use of media plugins. While the necessary plugins will often come pre-installed, you may need to install or enable plugins to watch streaming video.

What does the "hlsjs: Video file not found" error mean?
If you're watching a live stream, this error displays when the meeting cannot stream or when the meeting isn't set to broadcast.
If you're watching an archive (pre-recorded video), this error displays when the archive is in WMV format, which is not compatible with the player, or when the video does not exist in the location specified. Contact your jurisdiction with feedback about specific meetings.
What does the "unable to find content" message mean?
