In order to utilize any of the help options, you must first go through a lengthy registration process. You will have to give detailed information such as your address and the product number that you own.
We tried to skip all the registration process and send an email to the technical support team, but the email address provided did not exist and we were forced to register in order to ask a question. And after we were registered, we waited a few days before our simple question was answered.
We suggest you utilize the live chat option that is available from the AVerMedia website. However, the chat option still requires the detailed registration process. When we used the user forum to post a question, we received a prompt response telling us to just use the live chat option for any question that we might have.
