Will there be audio for the Live Stream?
Check your audio settings. We are hearing audio.
Checked all settings.Very distorted. Can barely understand the PA Announcer. Crowd noise is louder than the PA announcer.
Sorry about that. We aren’t the ones streaming this event.
Too bad that they are not panning over to the results board after each heat.
Definitely. We’ll see if they improve throughout the meet.
Thanks Jason. They just showed the Board. Thanks again.
Jason, do you know if lane one is at the top of the screen?
Lane 1 is on top.
Thanks. Looks like they are making some adjustments
