Watching a webinar

Why is my webinar not opening?

This can have several causes. Please try the following solutions:

  1. Check if your device is connected to the internet (cable or WiFi)
  2. If you are on a company network (e.g. via VPN), this often blocks the connection to the webinar. Preferably use your own WiFi signal, your own internet connection at home or, if you are at work, your mobile phone.
  3. Try to refresh the page or use the ‘refresh arrow’ in your browser
  4. Try using a different browser such as Chrome or Safari
  5. Are you sure you have updated your browser to the latest version?
  6. Maybe your device is a bit older and might be incapable to handle the technology we use. Try another device (like your newest smartphone).

If you did not receive a link but you do know from which organisation you want to watch a webinar? Then go to “onlineseminar.com/[name company]” and log in. Then go to the tab ‘Archive webinars’. From the webinar overview choose the webinar you want to watch and click ‘Watch the webinar’ and wait for the instruction on the screen.

The webinar keeps loading and does not start, what can I do?

This is probably due to the speed of your internet. Click here to go to a test page where you can check the speed of your internet. If the test shows that the internet speed is too low, you might want to switch to a different internet connection. Refreshing your browser may also solve the problem. The webinars are best viewed in Google Chrome or Firefox. It is also important to disable the VPN (these are secure company networks). You can also try using a different device.

I have an account, but I can’t log-in, and I didn’t receive the reset password link.

Audio/Video

What should I do if my screen is faltering?

This is probably due to the speed of your internet. Click here to go to a test page where you can check the speed of your internet. If the test shows that the internet speed is too low, you may want to switch to a different internet connection. Use your mobile data, for instance? Are there any other users at your location who use the same connection and are they perhaps downloading or uploading a lot of data, this can affect your image quality too. Try logging out and logging in again.

What should I do if my sound falters?

First check if your audio is switched on at a medium volume level. If you use audio boxes, check if they are properly connected to your device. Interupted sound can also be a connection problem. Can you switch to a different internet connection, for example through your mobile date connection? Try to log out and log in again.

What should I do if my screen freezes?

You can try refreshing the screen. This solves the problem in many cases. Or try using another browser (Google Chrome or Firefox). You can also try to log out and log back in again.

What should I do if I hear an echo?

You probably have two or more browser tabs open in which the webinar is playing. Close all unnecessary tabs. If you are not sure, close your browser and click again on the link in the email you received.

What should I do if part of my screen is missing / invisible?

Then your screen is probably zoomed in. Press CTRL+0 to fix it.
