Are there special technical requirements for live virtual courses or webinars?

For live virtual events, make sure you are viewing the course in an area with a strong internet connection and others in your home/office are not doing activities that will impact the quality of your connection (eg, streaming videos). Streaming a live course feed takes more internet bandwidth than other internet activities so you’ll want to ensure you have a strong connection.

Audio (sound) is streamed through your computer or device speakers. Be sure your computer or device is equipped with speakers so you can hear the recording or live session. 

We also recommend learners do a browser test prior to the event start date. Do the browser test using the same device and set-up you intend to use on the day of the course.

• https://zoom.us/test - Most ASAM live activities will be in Zoom.
• http://events.commpartners.com/webcasts/browsetest/ - Annual Conference, Review Course, and State of the Art will use this platform.

What if I still have technical issues?

For technical assistance, please email education@asam.org.
