What is Video Stuttering?
If you experience stuttering while watching a video in the Youreeeka Content Network:
- If both the video and audio stutter while you are viewing, you are most likely experiencing issues with your Internet connection
- If the video stutters but the audio is fine, you are most likely experiencing issues related to your computer's hardware and/or software configuration
Below you will find a wide-range of suggestions that may help if you are experiencing stuttering while trying to watch a video:
- Are you watching video over a wireless connection? If so, try it over a wired connection
- If you are sharing an Internet connection with other people, check to see if they are using any bandwidth-intensive operations while you are watching videos
- Ensure that you are not running any other bandwidth-intensive applications on the computer with which you are viewing the video (e.g. Bit Torrent, Outlook, Vuze, Skype, Vonage, MagicJack, or any other downloads). If you are, please pause these applications while watching videos within the Youreeeka Content Network
- Is the CPU usage on your computer unusually high while watching videos within the Youreeeka Content Network? On Windows, you can check this by right-clicking on your task bar, launching the Task Manager, and going to the Performance tab. On a Mac, go to "Applications," then "Utilities" and launch the Activity Monitor. If the CPU usage is above 50% (or 100% on Mac with a dual-core processor), try shutting down any applications that may be using your CPU
- If your video is stuttering only during full screen mode, try lowering your desktop resolution
