Audio/Video Quality Issues

Audio or video stopping or cutting in and out: 95% of the time this is an issue with your local Internet connection. Your connection bandwidth, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or geographic location may not allow for a reliable connection to the broadcast servers. (We have live monitors and will know if the issue is on our end.) If there is a way to improve your Internet connection, please do so. If you cannot solve the issue, you will still be able to view the event recordings from the Past Events page where they will be posted within 24 hours of the events conclusion.
 

There is a distinct “echo” on the audio: This occurs when you log into the broadcast room more than once. Please check all your browser windows and tabs to determine if you have the broadcast room open more than once.
 

Speaker is difficult to hear or understand: We are likely aware of this and are already working to improve it. Each speaker’s voice is different and some can be difficult to amplify properly without creating feedback at the live event. If you have trouble following what a speaker is saying, you can refer to the closed caption transcription below the slides and/or review the event recordings from the Past Events page where they will be posted within 24 hours of the events conclusion.
 

Trouble Logging Into the Broadcast Rooms

You get an “Incorrect username or password.” error: To enter the broadcast rooms for the event, you must have registered for the event at SBIAevents.com. NOTE: The correct server for SBIA events is concerted.adobeconnect.com and NOT the collaboration.fda.gov server that is used for many other FDA webinars and events. You cannot use the login credentials you created on one server on the other server. The Username to login is whatever email address you used when you registered. Your password is the password you chose the first time you registered for any event on concerted.adobeconnect.com. If you have forgotten your password, you can use the “Forgot Password?” link to reset it to a new password.
 

You get a message saying the room is not open: The broadcast rooms for each event will open approximately 15 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin. Please check the event’s date and start time to see what time the room will open.
 

You get a message saying the room is full: Room One for can support a maximum of 1,000 simultaneous participants on a first come, first serve basis. As participants leave the room, their spots will open up for people that are “waiting” to get in the room. So, you can just keep the browser window open and wait. Room Two has unlimited seating. The “room full” message will include information on how to login to Room Two. If you continue to have issues getting into the room, you will still be able to view the event recordings from the Past Events page where they will be posted within 5-10 business days of the events conclusion.
