Freezes in the video stream:
- To watch the live video stream, the minimum required download speed is 700kb/s. To test your download speed go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and select the location of the streaming server, London, United Kingdom.
Note: long distances between you and the server may also influence streaming stability.

- Freezes can also happen randomly. The solution would be to press STOP and START again on your video reader (Windows media Player).

Streaming window in full screen
- Double click in the window or...
- Right click in the window > Zoom > Full Screen

Behind the Scenes

Between each display, we have to switch the server and reset the live stream. For this reason we will have some downtime and the screen will be black.
This procedure is very complex and may couse extra downtime as planned on the VFAT Time Schedule.
We ask for you patience on downtimes.
Feel free to take a look on the Website & Forum to read some information about VFAT and the teams.

We hope to give everyone an enjoyable time during the VFAT weekend!

My experience today(Friday) was that the stream was running best in the I-net explorer.(I'm normally a firefox user)
So if you have lags in other browsers you should maybe (yes- that will be hard for some of you;) )
Hit "Start" and search for that blueish icon with an E .

Normally it should work fine on firefox aswell (it did work fine for me all friday), though indeed, IE will usually work best.

All worked fine here.
I found Chrome perform a tad better on the stream then Explorer did.
Still only a few stutters experienced but not at all disturbing.
