Troubleshooting Video Sync Issues

If you encounter issues with video synchronization, try these steps to resolve them. Typically, sync issues are due to network speed problems that prevent live playback from working smoothly:

  • Reduce Video Quality: Lowering the stream quality can reduce buffering and stuttering at the expense of resolution.
  • Disable Extra Features: If you're using the call feature, disabling webcams and microphones may free up bandwidth.
  • Check Browser Extensions: Ad blockers can interfere with synchronization, so try disabling them to improve playback.
