Video playback isn't working – black screen

This often happens when the live stream venue has internet issues or has not yet started the live stream. Try refreshing the page after a few minutes.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Smart TVs’ built-in web browsers are not supported.
   For best results, cast from a mobile device or use an HDMI cable to connect a computer to your TV.
2. Check your internet speed. We recommend at least 10 Mbps for smooth playback.
   Test your speed here: Speed Test
3. Supported Devices:
   • Mobile: iPad, iPhone, Android (released within the last 4-5 years).
   • Desktop/Laptop: Windows PC, MacBook, Mac Desktop.

   Older devices may still work but are not guaranteed to provide a smooth experience.

4. Use a supported browser:
   • Google Chrome
   • Firefox
   • Windows - Microsoft Edge
   • Mac/iOS - Safari
5. Disable ad-blockers or extensions that might interfere with playback.
6. Perform a hard refresh:
   Windows: Ctrl + F5 | Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
7. Close all browser windows, relaunch, and try again.
8. Clear your browser cache: Instructions Here
9. If issues persist, it may be a problem at the live stream venue—try again later.

Slow or buffering video

Streaming issues can result from slow Wi-Fi, network congestion, or interference.

Recommended Fixes:

• Move your router to a central location in your home.
• Place the router on an elevated surface (e.g., a desk or bookshelf).
• Reduce clutter around the router to improve the signal.
