Video Live-Stream – High Definition
CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH HEARING THE LIVESTREAMED SERVICES
Shalom Chaverim!
You do not have to go through the CNS website to get to our stream, here are the direct url addresses which you can bookmark on your computer or your phone.
https://iframe.dacast.com/b/116323/c/480714
The video stream is working fine (we monitor it during services). If you’re having issues, it’s with either your internet connection, software, or equipment.
If the video freezes there are several possible reasons and fixes. I’ll list them all in no particular order;
1) Insufficient bandwidth.
The internet right now is overburdened with many people at home live streaming everything. The connection that had enough bandwidth yesterday might not work today.
Who else is online at the same time? Live interactive gaming and multiple people watching movies at the same time can eat a lot of bandwidth.
2) Reboot your device, and reboot your internet router.
Rebooting your router clears up connection issues, which affect your bandwidth and speed. Your computer benefits from a total reboot now and then (your phone too).
3) Make sure your software updates and security updates have been done BEFORE you need to live stream.
What a pain updates are! They don’t ask permission, and take over your device’s bandwidth and processor power. Make sure your computer won’t try to do two things at once, this will definitely get in the way of live streaming. In Windows 10 you can pause updates.
4) Browser and other Security Settings
Each browser has it’s unique quirks. If you can’t get the live stream to play it’s usually that you have to give permission for the website https://iframe.dacast.com to send you streaming audio and video.
On Firefox you have to click the padlock in the address url bar and give full permissions. In Chrome you sometimes have to go into Settings to allow video and audio streaming. I can’t give you information about every browser but somewhere you might have to change browser settings.
Your own computer firewall or security software might be blocking our live stream. You have to go into the settings for your security software and either “whitelist” the website or when a popup warning appears tell your software to trust the live stream.
We can’t provide live tech support on Shabbat, but if you have issues connecting reach out to the office and we’ll try to get you answers.
