More Information Audability FAQ
Audability system test
Special Note to Mac Users: On some system combinations, we have found that the embedded Media Player may not start automatically. If you cannot hear any audio after 60 seconds from when you access the Webcast auditorium page, you may need to either push the Play button found below the embedded player, or select the Stand-Alone Player.

Due to current limitation in the Flip4Mac Media Player, Archive Indexing is currently not supported for Windows Media Streams on the Mac Platform..

The WMPlayer component from Microsoft is not supported and it might conflict with the Flip4Mac component so it's best to disable or remove it before installing Flip4Mac.

How to determine your encryption level

Internet Explorer Users (PC):

  • From the top menu, click on Help.
  • From the drop down menu, select About Internet Explorer.
  • The information displayed for Cipher Strength is the encryption level (i.e. Cipher Strength: 128-bit).
  • If it does not say 128-bit, then you do not have a browser with 128-bit encryption.

    If you do not have 128-bit encryption, you will need to upgrade your browser. Information related to upgrading Internet Explorer is available in this article from Microsoft Help and Support.

Internet Explorer Users (Mac):

  • Select the Apple menu from the top of the screen.
  • The information displayed for the Cipher Strength is the encryption level.
  • If it does not say 128-bit, then you do not have a browser with 128-bit encryption.

Firefox Users :

All versions of Mozilla Firefox support 128-bit encryption.

Safari Users :

The Safari browser displays a lock icon at the top right corner of the browser window when you're viewing a secure (https://) site. This symbol is absent when viewing an unsecured (http://) site. Safari can use both 40-bit and 128-bit strong encryption; the Web site determines which level of encryption is used at a given time.

Netscape Users:

  • From the toolbar menu, click on the Security button.
  • Within the window displayed, from the list of items on the left side, click on Navigator
  • On the right, below Advanced Security (SSL) Configuration, ensure both the Secure Sockets Layer checkboxes are checked.
  • Click on the Configure SSL v3 button.
  • On the Configure Ciphers screen, ensure the RC4 encryption with 128-bit key and an MD5 MAC checkbox is checked. If this checkbox is not displayed on the screen, or it says RC4 encryption with a 128-bit key and an MD5 (when permitted), then you do not have a browser with 128 bit encryption.
