Computer Setup:
- How can I test my computer before connecting to a webinar?
There is a test available at http://breeze.unc.edu/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm. This test will confirm you have a supported version of Adobe Flash player and that you can successfully connect to the webinar server.
You may receive a message that the Adobe Connect add-in is not installed. This is normal, and can be safely ignored if the first three tests were successful.
If you have any further questions, please contact the SOG Helpdesk at helpdesk@sog.unc.edu or 919.962.5487.

Audio Problems:
- What do I do if I have no sound?
Confirm that your speakers are turned on and that your speakers are not muted in Windows.
You can test your speakers while connected to the Webinar by choosing Meeting -> Manage My Settings -> Audio Setup Wizard, and selecting Next. A screen should appear with an option to test your speakers. If you hear music playing, then you’ve successfully configured your computer. If not, then your speakers are either muted or turned off. After this test, you can cancel out of the Audio Setup Wizard.
If you continue to have problems with audio, please use the provided toll-free number to connect to the audio over the phone.
- What do I do if I have poor audio quality?
Poor audio quality can be caused by a number of issues and can sometimes be resolved by closing your browser and reconnecting to the webinar. Common sources of poor sound, or frequently halting audio is too slow an internet connection. This can be the case when connecting with a dial-up modem, or if receiveing a poor wireless internet signal. In either case, you might try adjusting the network speed setting in your player. To do this, go to Meeting->Manage My Settings -> My Connection Speed -> and try selecting either “Modem” or “DSL”.
If you continue to have problems with audio, please use the provided toll-free number to connect to the audio over the phone.

- What do I do if the slides have frozen, are not loading, or are out of sync with the presenter?
These sync issues are often caused by network connectivity issues and can be resolved by closing your web browser and click on the link you originally received by email to rejoin the webinar.
If you continue to have problems with slides or other visual content, please download and refer to the materials (slides or handouts) that may have been provided by your program manager and follow along with the lecturer using either the webinar audio or the audio provided over the toll-free number.
