Resolution

  • Make sure your system meets the minimum system requirements
  • Review our network requirements and make sure the ports and IP ranges in the Webcast Presenters - Video Events column are permitted. If you're unsure of your settings, contact your IT Administrator.
  • Make sure your VCU accepts inbound connections. If you're unsure of your settings, contact your IT Administrator.
  • Make sure you have selected the correct protocol (SIP or H.323) for your VCU. If your VCU supports URI or IP calling, try both options.
  • Make sure you're using the correct SIP or H.323 address and that there are no typos.
  • Make sure your VCU doesn’t require a PIN to be included in the address. This information can be accessed in your VCU setup.
  • Make sure the VCU is on and streaming an audio or video feed.
  • Disconnect the VCU from any other calls.
  • Use a wired internet connection
  • Disconnect from the VPN
