Minimum Technical Requirements for Viewing the Presentations

A webcast is the transmission of sound and images via the Internet. Through the use of Mediasite technology, the Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) is producing webcasts that enable Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) members and employers to participate in or view presentations, training sessions, and other ETF-sponsored events that they would not be able to attend in person. ETF archives these webcasts for future viewing. To view a webcast, please make sure your computer meets all of the following requirements:

• You must have a computer with 16+ MB RAM and a sound card with speakers or headphones to view and listen to a webcast. A streaming player software, such as Windows Media Player, and a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or higher) or Netscape, are also required. If you are using older versions, please visit Microsoft’s Internet site for assistance.
• Internet connection: DSL or Cable (broadband) connections work well. For dial-up, modems need to be a minimum of 56 kbps.
