  1. Q: What is streaming video? A: Streaming video is video sent in a compressed file over the internet and shown to the viewer in real time. There is no need to wait for the file to download in order to view it.
  2. Q: Do I need to download any "plug-ins" or have a special media player in order to play CoastalFlix streaming video by dss? A: No "plug -ins" are necessary. The only thing needed is a web-enabled device – could be a desktop or laptop computer, a smartphone, tablet , e-reader, or web-TV. Please be sure that your organization allows video to be streamed through your IT environment.
  3. Q: What devices or operating systems are supported? A: Our streaming video platform is both device and operating system neutral. CoastalFlix streaming videos by dss will play across Apple (iPhone, iPad) and Google/Android devices regardless of operating system.
  4. Q: My employees have a varied level of bandwidth; will those with less bandwidth have to wait for the file to play? A: Our system will recognize and deliver the proper file based on the device and connection speed of the user. The user will not need to decide what files size to view – this will diminish the amount of “buffering” or wait time the viewer experiences.

A: You will have instant access to the content, there are no shipping costs, there is no physical product to lose, have stolen, or become damaged, and the content can be accessed anytime, anywhere you and your employees have an internet connection. This includes classroom, facilitator-led sessions as well as self-paced, just-in-time, active employee driven learning through a mobile device.
  6. Q: Can I track if my employees have completed viewing this video? A: No, this streaming video platform is not tracked on a per employee basis if the training is to be viewed outside of a formal classroom environment. It is meant to be an informal, user-driven, mobile learning experience.
