Video Player Support

Video Players

To work properly, webcasts and online videos require that a video player be installed on your computer. Most of the videos on the Harvard alumni web site are in either RealMedia or Flash Video format. Videos in RealMedia format require RealPlayer; videos in Flash Video format require a current version of Flash Player.

• Download RealPlayer (free version available)
• Download Flash Player (free)
