The videos on this site use Adobe’s Flash Player to stream video. This is the same player used to view YouTube videos. If you can view YouTube videos, you will be able to view videos on this site. NOTE: It is recommended that you have a broadband Internet connection (i.e. DSL or Cable) to view videos on this site. Dial-up is not recommended.

To view a video, click on the title of the selected video and click on the Play arrow in the center of the box. The video will begin loading and, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, begin playing within a few seconds.

If you want to skip to specific parts of the video, you must wait until the entire video has downloaded to your computer. The video will begin playing within a few seconds, but it may take several minutes to download completely. If you want to skip to the very end of the video, click on the “Play” button, wait until the video begins playing, and then click on the “Pause” button. You will see the video continue to load. When the gray shading at the bottom of the box reaches the right side of the bar, the video is completely downloaded and you can skip to any segment of the video using the timeline at the bottom of the box.

If you have any problems, please contact the administrator at elearning@firstfamilyministries.com.
