General Troubleshooting


What should I do if I am experiencing technical difficulty?

Our online platform uses an adaptive streaming model which means that streaming quality is in direct relation to your personal internet connectivity and speed. If you are experiencing playback issues, this may mean that your device is using an internet connection that is poor or inconsistent – or that multiple wi-fi enabled devices connected simultaneously are interfering with your connection. If you’re on wifi, try moving closer to your router. You may also try connecting directly to your router via an ethernet cable.
