All About Streaming

Q - Where I can I watch live sessions?

There are four locations to stream most sessions (except The Script to Screen sessions which will only be available on Yapp and the website, not on Facebook):

1. The London SWF Online website: Log in and scroll down to the WATCH LIVE post and click that. Scroll down until you see the live Vimeo player. Click the "My LSF2020" Menu Link at any time to take you back to the festival page.
2. The LondonSWF Online Facebook group: See the live stream on the group page, with the added benefit of live chat via comments on the video stream. You will get a Facebook notification when the live event starts. If you don't get one, refresh the group page and scroll down until you see the post with the live feed.
3. The Kajabi app (on a smartphone): click the Watch Live link. If it's time for a live show and it's still displaying a black screen, refresh the page by pulling downwards.
4. The Yapp app (on a smartphone): click the "365 Cinema" tab at the bottom left corner of the app.

Q - I don't have Facebook, where else can I watch live?

See the website and app alternatives above.

Q - Can I watch later on demand if I can't watch live?

Absolutely! In three places:

1. The London SWF Online site: Scroll down to the ON DEMAND list or keep scrolling to browse by day or by individual session.
2. The Kajabi app - the same as the website instructions. 
3. The Yapp app (on a smartphone): Click the More tab in the lower right corner. Click Watch OnDemand.

Q - How long do I have to watch the sessions on demand / when do they expire?

The sessions will be available to view for one year from the start of the festival, aka until May of 2021. There is no limit to the number of times you can rewatch a session.

Q - The festival is already in progress, can I see the sessions from before my purchase date? 

Yes! All of our sessions are available on demand to all pass holders, regardless of when you join. All you miss is the experience of watching it live with other attendees and interacting via text chat. Please see the "Can I watch later on demand" question for more details. 

Q - I just missed it - when will the session be available on demand? 

In most cases, once the session has ended, it will be immediately available in full on the live stream link and it will be posted to the on-demand section by the following day, if not sooner.

Q - The live video keeps pausing / freezing / dropping out / glitching / buffering ?

Troubleshooting live streaming glitches can be tricky. Most users report the best success on their smartphones via the Facebook Group or Yapp app. If you prefer to use the website or a different device and have issues, try these tips:

1. Restart your router and device.
2. Try a different browser (most reported success with Chrome), or clear your cookies and browser cache.
3. Increase your wifi signal by getting as close to the router as you can, eliminating obstacles between you and the router (often by placing it in an elevated location), or by connecting your device (such as a laptop) directly to the router via an Ethernet cable.
