I’m having problems streaming videos |
In most cases, streaming issues tend to be related to network issues. However, troubleshooting a network can be a bit tricky so before looking at that, it's worth it to try a few simple troubleshooting steps first. That way you can rule these out before looking at more complicated network issues. If these don't help, follow the link at the bottom to our article on network issues.

We have found Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome to be the most reliable for PC users. Both are free and take only a few minutes to install. If you are using a Mac we have found Safari to work great. You can download Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari for free by clicking on a link below. |
