Why don't you save the conference video in a Youtube style format so that everyone can view or embed it easily? The current link to a Java application takes long time to install and even after it's installed, the video is still not visible.

Hi Julie! Thanks for giving us feedback on the archive page! At present time, Elluminate recordings are saved in a file format with the extension of .vcr and open in an Elluminate room to view the recording. Once you install the software, click on step 2 when taken to the first page after clicking on the recording. That will load the recording and the video will play shortly thereafter. Once the software is installed, there should be a minimal wait subsequent times you access an Elluminate rooms or recordings. We can look into saving the file in a universal format in the future. Hopefully that answers your question and thank you for joining our shows and visiting our website!
