Choppy video and sound is a symptom of you not having enough steady bandwidth. This is not a problem we can fix on our end.

There are steps you can take, however:

1. If on WiFi use a hard wired Ethernet connection.
2. If on Ethernet connection shut down all other browser windows or other programs like Skype or email that use the internet to conserve bandwidth.
3. If several people from the same location are all watching the webcast from different computers, try to all watch at one computer instead.
4. If possible, ask coworkers to refrain from using the internet like Pandora or YouTube to conserve bandwidth.
5. Contact your IT department to see if they can offer you more bandwidth.
