Why is the video playback choppy? The video player is always buffering.

Why is the video player lagging/buffering?

  • Poor network connection
  • Video quality settings are too high
  • Network is blocking our content

 

To prevent buffering:

  • Lower the quality of the video
    • Simply click on the gear icon located at the lower right of the player bar, and select SD
  • Disconnect and reconnect to your WiFi
  • Restart your router, if possible
  • Remove any ad blockers you may have installed on your browser
