Q&A
Question: How do I close a playing video?
Answer: To close a playing video and return to the previous menu you will need to go to the top right of the screen (when a video is playing) and find the tiny X button. The X button will close the video that is currently playing and return the screen to the previous menu.
Question: I have no sound how can I fix that?
Answer: Please check all mute buttons. This includes the mute button on the on screen player (click screen to see player) and the mute buttons from the Second Life Viewer volume controls. You can find those in the Viewer Preferences >> Sounds and Media tab.
Question: The videos are not playing for me. When I click a video to play all I see is an X on the center of the screen and the video will not start playing.
Answer: If you use Firestorm Viewer you will need to update to v6.4 or higher to play ALL videos. This is because many new video formats such as HLS VOD and HLS Livestreams only became supported in Viewers v6.4 and newer.
