We want to make sure everyone can join us to learn from the leading voices tackling the climate emergency right now. If you're planning to join one of our webinars, please follow the steps below to make sure you're set for success!

Ahead of the webinar

Firewall settings - does your IT network allow you to access the webinar?

In some organisations, your IT team may have a firewall in place which monitors and protects web traffic in and out of the company.

Please ensure your IT team allows use of GotoWebinar by adjusting Firewall settings (see details below). This can be especially relevant for larger corporations:

If your IT team cannot adjust the Firewall settings, please ensure that you have a device with an external connection outside of firewalls that you can use to attend.

Device settings - does your device work with GotoWebinar?

Please ensure that the device you are intending to use to attend the webinar is set up correctly. This system check will check your browser, operating system and internet connection to make sure they will give you the best experience on our webinar.

Please note, the above test does not check your Firewall settings. Please ensure your IT team have reviewed the Firewall settings above in advance.

There is more documentation about system requirements available on the GotoWebinar website here.
