If your speed is lower than recommended, lowering the video quality in the player can improve playback.
Factors That May Affect Streaming
Shared Wi-Fi Networks
If multiple people are using the same network for streaming, downloads, or video calls, bandwidth may be limited, and videos may buffer.
Mobile Data Connections
Streaming HD videos can consume significant mobile data. When possible, use a stable Wi-Fi connection.
Device Performance
Older devices may struggle with high-resolution videos. Keeping your device, browser, or app updated can improve performance.
Network Congestion
Internet speeds may slow down during peak hours when many users are online. If buffering occurs, try watching at a quieter time or lower the video quality.
Tip: Before starting a live session or watching a lesson, ensure your connection is stable and close unnecessary downloads or streaming apps.
A stable connection helps ensure that your lessons, community discussions, and live sessions run smoothly so you can focus on benefiting from the knowledge.
