Video and audio tips for attendees
Troubleshoot common video and audio issues in sessions.
Video stalls or does not play smoothly
This issue occurs when your internet connection is weak, overloaded, or unstable.
Try these solutions:
Close other programs and browser tabs, then refresh the session page.
Plug in an ethernet cable.
Get closer to your router if on Wi-Fi.
Disconnect other devices on your network.
If you are experiencing issues even with a strong internet connection, try clearing your browser cache, then re-joining.

To establish a smoother experience, lower the quality of the video. Hover your mouse over the video, click the Settings icon, click Quality, then select a lower resolution.
If using a laptop, make sure your charger is plugged in to avoid being in low battery mode.
