Nothing – they're absolutely free.

How long are the webcasts?

Unless it specifically states otherwise, all Dbriefs webcasts will last for approximately one hour.

What is the ideal time to join a webcast?

We recommend joining the webcast about five to ten minutes before it begins, to ensure your computer is configured properly.

Technical FAQ

What are the minimum technical requirements to view a webcast?

Visit webcast help for full technical support and information.

Is there a dial-in number for the webcast?

No. All audio and visual aspects are streamed directly over the Internet and come through your computer.

Why can't I hear anything?

There are several factors that impact audio performance. First, check the following: Are there speakers on the computer? Does the computer have a sound card installed? Is the volume set too low or set to mute? If you still can't hear anything, visit the webcast help page.

Sometimes I lose sound for a few seconds. Why is that?

The delay in sound is due to buffering. Because our webcast is entirely Internet-based, this will happen occasionally. However, rest assured the sound will pick up where it left off and no audio will be lost.
