Fix buffering and freezing
Updated Aug 31, 2026
Most buffering comes from the connection between your device and the internet, not the stream itself. Work through this list:
- Restart the app and re-open the channel — this resets the connection.
- Test your speed: you need a stable 10 Mbps for HD. Run a speed test on the same device.
- Prefer wired or 5 GHz Wi-Fi — 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi across walls is the #1 cause of evening buffering.
- Reboot your router if speeds look wrong.
- Try another channel: if only one channel buffers, tell us which one — that is on our side and we will fix it.
