Viewing IDHS Webcasts Because the webcasts are viewed by accessing the Internet, please review the information below prior to the webcast date. This link, link to test, will allow your agency to test viewing capability. It is recommended that your agency s Information System staff be consulted regarding your ability to participate in webcasts. 1. How does a webcast differ from a satellite broadcast? Staff will be able to view the webcast from their own workstation if a high speed internet connection and sound are available. In order to impact the agency s Internet and server functionality in the smallest manner, it is recommended that viewers watch in a group setting as has historically been done with the satellite broadcasts. The requirement to view the webcast on the same equipment that has been used for satellite viewing is that it must be connected to a computer that has a high speed internet connection and have sound capability. Your agency s information technology staff should be utilized to determine connectivity as well as the most appropriate viewing situation. 2. What software needs to be available to view the presentation? Each machine that is used to view the web cast will need to have Windows Media Player installed. Speakers or head phones will be needed for the audio portion of the web cast. 3. How will the live question and answer sessions work? Not all webcasts contain live question and answer segments. Information found on the flyer for each broadcast, will note whether the webcast will have a live question and answer session. Webcasts are not viewed in real time as are satellite broadcasts and regular television programming. There is a small delay in what is going on in the studio compared to what the audience is seeing. The delay will not be apparent until the live question and answer sessions begins. When staff at your location are calling in, we ask that while they are asking their question, they listen to the broadcast in the phone only and not the television or speakers at the site, and that they not try to view the presentation while asking their question. Phone access will remain in synch with the broadcast and will provide the best means of interaction. The use of email to send and receive questions is also being considered. If email becomes an option, the email address will be posted during the presentation for the audience to see. 4. Will the webcast be available for viewing after the original date? The link used to watch the broadcast will remain available indefinitely. DVD or VHS copies will be available after the fiscal year ends from the Training Center Library. 5. Will viewers need to register for the presentation? Yes. Viewers will need to register in order to receive the link to view the broadcast and a link needed to access the appropriate on-line evaluation.
