Buffering interruptions are frustrating, but they're usually caused by one of a handful of common issues. Work through this checklist to identify the cause.

Check Your Internet Speed

Run a speed test on the device you're streaming from. If your connection is slower than expected, restart your router or contact your internet provider.

Reduce Network Congestion

  • Pause large downloads or updates running on other devices.
  • Move closer to your Wi-Fi router, or use a wired connection where possible.
  • Limit the number of devices streaming at once on the same network.

Restart the App and Device

A simple restart of the app or device often resolves temporary playback issues.
