Regardless of whether you are accessing media content from the Global Leadership Network, or tuning into a live-streamed event such as The Global Leadership Summit, here are some Frequently Asked Questions on how you can best optimize your viewing experience for you and your team:
Can I stream or share my content on multiple devices?
Your event watch link is unique to you. It is not meant to be shared. If shared, it may cause the event to stop loading properly. You can stream on one device at a time - whether online or on a mobile device utilizing your Watch Link. Additional guests should register separately for their Watch Link and other event resource access. To locate your Watch Link, please sign in to your GLN Account and access your Current Events.
However, we understand that you may want to play the event on multiple devices, like your laptop, mobile device, and smart TV. If you wish to switch to another device, no problem! Just remember to sign out of the current streaming device before signing in on another. It may take a moment or two after signing out. If you exceed that amount, you will receive a warning message: "You are currently active on too many devices. Please select a device to disconnect in order to access this page." To solve this, either select one of the white boxes (one of the devices and/or browsers you are on) or the red button, "Clear all devices." This will allow you to access the content on your current device.
Can you provide me instructions on how to share this virtually?
- Make sure the wifi has a high bandwidth & not a lot of other user traffic
- Make sure there are no firewalls, pop-up blockers, or security applications running that could break our site content
- Use a platform that you are familiar with and we recommend doing a test run prior to your team meeting or retreat
- Here are some options for your virtual meeting:
Is Continue Watching Available?
The Network does not currently include a Continue Watching feature. To return to a video, simply locate it again using Search, the Library or Speakers.
Is My Watchlist Available?
Not at this time.
The Network does not currently include a Watchlist feature.
To find content you've viewed previously, use Search, browse the Library, or explore content by Speaker or Leadership Pillar.
Can I pause and rewind the live content?
Yes! You can scrub back (rewind) up to 120 minutes from the initial broadcast time.
After an event is over, you will be able to view it for a limited time via Video-On-Demand (VOD) within your GLN Account - Dashboard / Events.
Can I project the content onto a bigger in-person display (i.e. Smart TVs, Chromecast, and AirPlay)?
We recommend viewing the stream on a desktop or laptop using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. You can also view it on your tablet or cell phone.
There is no native app for Smart TVs, but you can use a video cable to connect your computer to your TV or a projector (if you have the proper cabling and ports on your gear).
You can also view with Chromecast or AirPlay [Note: the stream will not work on AirPlay from a laptop or desktop (macOS), but should work from an iPad or iPhone (iOS)], but this may slow your connection speed.
