How To Watch Online

Before the Event

    • When you make a purchase, you’ll receive an email that has your unique access code for each event.
    • Each event has its own access code. For example, if you buy a ticket to three different showtimes in one purchase, you will have three unique access codes in your email confirmation.

 

  • Important: Make sure you have autoplay videos enabled for this site. If you don’t, functionality of the live screening will be impaired. Most people do not have this turned off and can ignore this step. If you have turned off autoplay videos, or notice that when a new video loads, it does not automatically play, please enable autoplay for this site. Here are instructions for Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

 

Joining the Event
