This is a video webcast. Why am I only receiving audio, low quality video or buffering?

The media player will automatically adapt the video quality down depending on your available bandwidth. The lowest adaption is an audio only stream.

If you are on a slow internet connection, you may experience moments of buffering. If you are connected over VPN, disconnect from it and refresh the page. If you are using Wi-Fi, try connecting to the Internet directly via Ethernet cable.

What do I do if I cannot hear audio or see video?

There are a few possibilities:
