Yes. Download this free plug-in to view WyoCast presentations on a Mac. If you don’t already have the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in, you will be prompted to download it the first time you view a presentation. You will not be asked to install this plug-in again.

It depends on whether the presenter made the lecture available to the public, or if it is only available to UWYO accounts. The presenter should let you know whether you have to sign in with your UWYO username and password. If you don’t see the lecture series in the presentation catalog, try signing into WyoCast by clicking on the sign in button near the upper right side of the catalog.
