Requirements to View WMV Online Streaming Video Files
Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac
Your computer must have Windows Media Player (free) installed and enabled for your web browser.
Apple Mac only
Information about playing Windows Media Player files in the QuickTime Player is available on Microsoft's website. See also Tip for Mac Users.
Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox
If you have Windows Media Player installed on your computer and embedded WMV files do not display correctly in Firefox, try installing the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox (because even if you already have Windows Media Player installed, you may still be missing the plugin required to play back Windows Media audio and video embedded in web pages).
Live Event Links
There are 2 links for live streaming video webcasts. The appropriate link for each live webcast is posted on the related web page. However, errors do occur. If one link does not work, please try the other.
Accessibility of Live and Archived Video
As of January 2010, speeches by the College President and some other live webcast events include a picture-in-picture feature showing Ohlone ASL interpreters.
Live video webcasts and their archived versions are not captioned and transcripts are not available.
