�� Common Webinar Problems/Solutions
Problem: I am on the EPA Webinar site, but I cannot find the title
Solution 1: If the meeting has not yet started, click on the "Scheduled Conferences" button. This should bring up a list of available webinars. Click on the icon under “join or enroll for conference.”
Solution 2: If the meeting has started, click on the "Conferences in Progress" button. This should bring up a list of available webinars. Click on the icon under join or enroll in conference.
Problem: I am unable to connect to the Webinar.
Solution 1- Important: Because of the way the Webinar software works, if the host (Region 5) is
disconnected from the Internet, the conference will end, all participants will be disconnected, and we can not restart the same Webinar. The Webinar may still appear to be in progress, but you will receive an error message when you try to connect/reconnect.
To address this possibility, two backups webinars have been scheduled for each day. Example:
� Decentralized Wastewater Conference 1b – 1st Backup for Wed, June 10
� Decentralized Wastewater Conference 1c – 2nd Backup for Wed, June 10
� Decentralized Wastewater Conference 2c – 1st Backup for Thur, June 11
� Decentralized Wastewater Conference 2c – 2nd Backup for Thur, June 11
� If you notice that one of these is “In Progress,” please try accessing that Webinar. If more than one Webinar conference says "in progress" select the last one That should be the active conference. If we “use up” both backups during the conference we will create Webinars on the fly
Solution 2: Go to http://hawkeye.epa.gov/imtapp/app/pubschconf.uix
Select the appropriate Webinar by date.
If you log on before the host does, our Webinar will show up under “Scheduled Conferences.”
