General Video/Audio Issues
Having trouble with audio/video streaming? No worries, we've got you covered with some simple troubleshooting steps:
-
Check your VPN and virtual desktop: If you're using a VPN or virtual desktop (like Citrix), switch to a local browser that DOES NOT go through the them. Streaming HD videos requires a lot of bandwidth, and going through a VPN or virtual desktop can limit it, causing video quality issues.
-
Clear your browser cache: Accumulated cookies can interfere with streaming quality, much like plaque in an artery or gunk in a sink drain. Click HERE to find step-by-step directions on clearing your browser cache.
-
Close unnecessary programs: Shut down any other systems running on your computer, such as LOS, email, or other browsers. Streaming videos can be resource-intensive, and running multiple programs can compete for resources, affecting video playback.
-
Give your computer a restart: Sometimes, a simple restart can clear up any hidden issues running in the background. Just turn it off and back on again.
-
Reboot your Internet router: Similar to restarting your computer, turning off and on your router can help resolve underlying issues. It establishes a fresh connection, which can eliminate any potential hiccups affecting your streaming experience.
-
Ensure a stable Internet connection: Check that your Wi-Fi signal is strong and avoid peak hours in your area. A poor connection can result in low-quality resolution, stuttering, freezing, or even inability to play the video.
