Install Quicktime

To use eduStream at home, you will need to install a program called QuickTime. This is a free utility which can be downloaded from the Internet.

Many computers have QuickTime installed already. If it is version 5 or higher, you may not need to reinstall.

However, you should install QuickTime if it isn't on your computer, if it is an old version, or if you have tried to use eduStream and found it isn't working on your computer.
