Are you having issues viewing or recording videos on the site?

There are many technology pieces at work at OpenMyVideo. Our site uses Adobe Air technology to launch the player and camera features. A couple of quick hints to make your experience fantastic:

1. Make sure you have the latest updates/upgrades to your Internet browser. Find them here:

Internet Explorer
Firefox
Safari
Google Chrome

2.  Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash, which is here:

Flash

3.  Make sure Java is on your machine. Most modern browsers will include it—if not, check here:

Java

4.  Loading videos to the web is a bandwidth-intense activity. Make sure your connection is optimal.

5.  For the best quality video, use your WebCamera software to create a file. Record your message, locate the file, and then upload and share using our new “File Upload” feature. We accept all common types: .flv .mov .wmv.

6.  Record your videos in a well-lit room. Plan your message first.

OpenMyVideo is a great tool, for everything from business messaging to social networking to keeping up with family and friends. Try it now, keeping these hints in mind. Comment here if you have any questions—we’re happy to help you make the most of OMV.
