Thanks to Flumotion, GUADEC 2010 is the first live event to use the open source codec WebM for streaming. However, not all browsers and media players have yet released stable versions with support for this format. Therefore it could be necessary to install a newer, more unstable version of your favourite browser. It is recommended to not overwrite your stable browser with the unstable version if you're on a production environment. Instead, you should try to run the unstable browser next to your stable browser and only use it to watch the streaming.

Instead of trying to watch the stream in a web browser you could also try to view the streams in a media player that supports WebM streaming

The software below is not a recommendation, but merely a list of options that we know do or do not work to view the streams. I have found the most easy process being to download a nighlty build of firefox and run that in parallel to my stable version (on unix, start firefox with './firefox -P webm' to run the nighlty build with a new user profile to prevent messing up your default profile.
