Webcast Events

The MISRC webcast events are made available to the MISRC Corporate Partners and members of the University of Minnesota. The MISRC webcasts are currently servicing the Seminar Series events, however they can be made available for other MISRC events, such as Symposia. The webcast events are streamed video of the speaker's presentation, with their accompanying slides that change automatically. In addition to seeing live webcast events, Corporate Partners can view the archived webcasts from previous seminars.

Webcast Registration is Online

Registration for Corporate Partners via webcast is now available online. This will make it easier for our Corporate Partners to register and allow us to maintain more detailed attendance reports. Webcast attendees will need the username and password that is displayed in their registration confirmation to view live and archived webcasts. The username and password will also be emailed to registered attendees several days before the live event. Please view the archived webcasts to test and make sure everything is working properly before the live events.

Communicate with the seminar presenter in real-time via the MediaSite or "misrc@csom.umn.com"

The MISRC Seminars now offer you the chance to ask questions via MediaSite or e-mail. This will increase the value of the live webcast by providing the user with a way to ask questions to the seminar presenter in real time. To ask the presenter a question click on the "Ask" button located just above the webcast video. To ask technical questions use either the "Ask" button or an e-mail to "misrc@csom.umn.edu".

Notes:
(1) There is an approximate 20 second delay when viewing the live webcast. Also, our e-mail server has a delay of 15-30 minutes! Please keep this in mind when asking questions (preferably ask them through MediaSite's "Ask" function).
(2) While every effort will be made to remind the seminar speaker that there are remote users viewing the webcast seminar who wish to ask questions, the MISRC cannot guarantee that the seminar speaker will explicitly ask for questions or that all questions submitted via email or chat will be answered.

I can see the presentation but I cannot here sound.
If you are having this problem there are a few possible solutions. First is try closing and reopening your browser.
