System Requirements

St. Mary's University School of Law recommends the following system requirements for the best presentation viewing experience with the live or on-demand webcast Silverlight player on Windows, Mac OS, Linux.

Before you begin, here are some things to consider:

• Silverlight 3.0 is required to view presentations in the Silverlight Player. If you do not have Silverlight 3.0, you will be prompted to install it when you view a presentation. If you are not prompted, you can download it from here.
• The Silverlight Players do not support playback speed control.
• All Silverlight Players support closed-captioning. However, the small Silverlight Players only supports closed-captioning when in full screen.
• If you are unable to play the presentation due to a proxy server, contact your IT administrator to assist in domain exemption modifications. In the mean time, visit the following live or on-demand alternative player catalog to view a presentation: Supreme Court of Texas (Alternative Player) Webcast Catalog
