Welcome To ETF’s Video (Webcast) Library

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) enables participants and employers to view and/or participate in presentations, training sessions, and other ETF-sponsored events that they cannot or could not attend in person. This technology also allows the Department to archive these webcasts for future reference. To participate in or view a webcast, please ensure that your computer meets all of the necessary requirements below.

Minimum Technical Requirements for Viewing the Presentations

We recommend the following system requirements for the best presentation viewing experience with Mediasite Player on Windows, Mac OS, Linux.

Note: Remember to configure pop-up blockers to allow site pop-ups. Otherwise, presentations will not appear. Also, if you are not using Internet Explorer as your browser on Windows, there are additional considerations

Windows requirements

  • Microsoft® Windows XP, Windows 2003, or Windows Vista®
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 SP1 or later, Firefox® 2.0 or later, or Google Chrome 1.0
  • Windows Media® Player 9.0 or later
  • Broadband Internet connection (256 Kbps & above)

Mac requirements

  • Apple® Mac® OS X 10.4.8 or later
  • Apple Safari™ 2.0.4 or later or Firefox 2.0 or later
  • Microsoft Silverlight® 2.0 or later
  • Broadband Internet connection (256 Kbps & above)

    Notes: On the Mac, Silverlight 2.0 is required to view presentations. If you do not have Silverlight 2.0, you will be prompted to install it when you view a presentation. If you are not prompted, you can download it from here.

Linux® requirements

  • Moonlight™ 1.0
  • Microsoft Media Pack for Moonlight
  • Moonlight 1.0 supports the operating systems and platforms listed here.
  • Broadband Internet connection (256 Kbps & above)

    Notes: Moonlight is an open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight for Unix systems. The first time that Moonlight loads a page that contains media, it will ask you whether you want to install the Microsoft Media Pack.

If you are having problems and your computer meets the system requirements, visit Sonic Foundry's Troubleshooting Mediasite Playback web resource for tips on troubleshooting your computer and more information on Player features.

Have a question for ETF?

Some of these presentations allow you to ask questions while viewing a presentation. Simply click on the “ask” button (within the viewer) and an email addressed to this department will automatically pop up. You may submit your question, and should receive an answer from the department within 3-4 working days.

Testing the system and sound

Streaming video and audio files generally take 15 to 30 seconds to load and buffer. Please be patient as Windows Media Players begins to download the video stream from our server. Also, please note that the audio portion may begin five to ten seconds before the video.
