Technical FAQ
What are the minimum technical requirements needed to view a webcast?
The minimum technical requirements to view a webcast are: an Internet connection, a web browser (Internet Explorer 6+ is recommended), a sound card and speakers or headphones, an installed flash player (most modern systems have these built-in) and a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768. In order to access a webcast, your computer must have cookies and JavaScript enabled. Visit this webcast help page for more information or check your configurations by visiting this test your system page. If you need further help, email technical support at webcastCOE@us.gt.com
Is there a dial-in number for webcasts?
There is no dial-in number for our webcasts. The audio and visual aspects of our webcasts are streamed directly over the Internet and are heard and seen through your computer.
Why can't I hear anything?
Please check that your speakers are plugged into the power outlet, turned on and up, and connected to the audio port of the computer. Your speakers or headphones must be plugged into the sound card. If you still cannot hear any audio, check your system volume settings and the volume on the media player and visit this webcast help page.
Sometimes I lose sound or my video freezes for a few seconds. How can I alleviate this?
Because our webcasts are Internet-based, this is likely due to network congestion. To alleviate network connection problems, consider reducing the amount of applications you have running. If you are accessing an archived webcast, try accessing the event at a later time during an off-peak Internet traffic period.
What do I need to do to view a webcast on a Mac?
To view a webcast on a Mac, you must download the Mozilla Firefox browser and make sure your Real Audio media player is updated.
Continuing Professional Education FAQ
How do I get CPE credit for attending a webcast?
If you have met the minimum requirements for earning CPE credit, you will be able to print your certificate upon completing the survey at the conclusion of the program. For more information on the minimum requirements needed to earn CPE credit for a live webcast, please visit our CPE Information page.
Can I get CPE credit by watching the archive?
Archive events are not eligible for CPE credit. In order to receive CPE credit, the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) requires attendance at a live webcast event.
A group of us are watching the live event on one computer; can we all get CPE credit?
If you are in a group of people participating on a webcast, only the person who is logged on is eligible to receive CPE credit.
How long will it take to receive a CPE certificate?
Those who have earned CPE credit on a webcast can save or print a CPE certificate immediately following the live webcast. Participants who have earned CPE credit will also receive the CPE certificate within 24 hours via email at the email address used to register for the webcast.
