GENERAL REQUIREMENTS & GUIDANCE
It’s very easy to connect to our platforms, all you need is a computer, tablet or mobile device. No downloads are required and you can join direct from your browser.
In some circumstances businesses and organisations deploy security software on company networks, devices and software. In this scenario there can be some minor configuration required by your business IT department. This page is designed to provide the information required to ensure everyone in your organisation can connect trouble free.
When connecting to our digital platforms this may include streaming video and interactive 360 environments, which can be demanding on your computer or mobile device. The following guidance will help you get the best from your digital platform experience.
• Close unwanted windows and Apps – including any other video conferencing Apps like Zoom or MS Teams as these can cause conflicts when accessing your camera and microphone.
• Close unwanted tabs in your Chrome browser – our platforms run direct from your browser and having lots of tabs open can use excessive memory which will effect your computers performance.
• If you are presenting at a virtual event we advise the use of a microphone/headset, a smartphone earpiece with a mic will work fine. We do not recommend bluetooth devices as these sometimes have interference and can have connection or battery problems.
• If you are joining the event on camera you will need a Webcam. This will be built into your laptop, or if you have a desktop you may require a USB webcam.
• A screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or higher is recommended for the best experience, although lower resolutions will work just fine. Go to System preferences > Display (Mac) or Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Screen resolution (PC).
