Technical Requirements for Viewing Videos in ANGEL
If your instructor is using links in ANGEL to LCCC video-streamed lectures or course information, it is important to determine the software you will need to view the videos.
LCCC has some videos that require Windows Media Player (blue background) and/or Silverlight (white background). Please follow the directions that refer to the type of video you are viewing.
Videos with a blue background require Windows Media Player.
Videos with a white background require Silverlight by Microsoft.
About Windows Media Player Videos (blue background):
- Browsers: IE 7, 8 or 9 (these videos do not play on a Mac)
- Need Windows Media Player 10 or Higher
- Disable Pop-up Blockers. Be sure to also check your computer security system for pop-up blockers
- Windows Media Player may need to be set as the default on your computer for audio files.
- “Do you want to display the nonsecure items?”: IE7 – answer is “Yes” and in IE8 or IE9 the answer is “No”
