There are a number of factors that can influence your video streaming experience - your internet connection, browser, and operating system all play a part. In some cases, the Internet Connection is might be an issue. The minimum 'download' speed should be 4 megabits per second or higher.
We also recommend the following browsers: Safari, Edge, Firefox, Chrome
In regard to operating systems, we've found that Samsung and older iPhones might cause this inconvenience.
Additionally, even small fluctuations in your bandwidth will cause drops in playback quality.
Multiple people/devices connected to the same wi-fi network will cause slow-downs and if you frequently start and stop the video, it might affect what we call 'dubbing' resulting in an interrupted playback.
Tip: Always test your internet connection speed.
- Go to www.speedtest.net
- Click 'Begin Test' and wait for results
If your connection speed meets the minimum requirements of 4 megabits per second and you are still having issues, try playing the video on another device.
