The built-in speakers on your device may not provide sufficient audio quality to get the orchestral music experience that you’re looking for. If you have external speakers or headphones, we recommend using those.

You may wish to test your computer speakers by searching for an orchestral music video on YouTube to determine if you’re happy with the sound quality of your setup.

You may wish to watch the online concerts on your TV.
There are a few ways to do this and specific instructions will vary depending on your device.

If you have an Android box/Roku, Chromecast, or Smart TV:

• You can cast the video from your computer or mobile device to your television or mirror the screen depending on the device.
• For more information about casting to your television using Chromecast, click here.
  Please note: Currently, Vimeo (the ESO Virtual Stage video host/player) does not support casting from the Chrome web browser.

If you have an Apple iPhone, iPad or Apple computer AND an Apple TV:

• You can mirror your device to your TV.
• Instructions can be found here.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Be aware that older models of these devices may result in viewing and/or audio issues.
• We recommend you refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for more details specific to your devices and troubleshooting.

If you do not have a Smart TV:

• You may be able to connect your laptop or desktop computer to the TV using an HDMI cable.
• Please check your TV to ensure there is an HDMI port available and refer to your device’s instruction manual for setup.

PLEASE NOTE:

• HDMI cables can be purchased online or at an electronics store and range in price.
• Newer computers may require additional adaptors/dongles to accommodate these ports (e.g., HDMI-to-Mini Display or HDMI to USB-C).

For optimal viewing results when watching the video, the video player streaming quality is set to “auto.” This setting allows the player to adjust the video quality with any local internet quality fluctuations, rather than interrupting your stream.

The video is available in multiple qualities, including 4K (if your device supports it). If you wish to manually switch to a different video quality, click the gear icon in the bottom right corner and select your desired quality.

For more information about the playback quality and buffering, click here.
