Test your internet connection and streaming quality with our free tool at test.spotme.com.

Web browser and operating system recommendations

1. We recommend using a modern web browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome, or Safari.
2. Make sure you are using the most updated version of your web browser.
3. Clear the cache of your web browser.
4. Make sure you are using the latest version of your operating system.
5. Try to disable any unnecessary browser extensions. To do so, go to the Preferences or Settings in your browser, click on Extensions, then temporarily disable all the extensions.

If you are using Internet Explorer, please make sure to install and enable Flash player.

I have no sound or sound is low quality

1. Click on volume icon on the video player to adjust the volume, or hover over the icon and slide the volume bar to increase the volume.
2. Ensure the browser tab with the video is not muted, right-click on the browser tab of your stream and click on "Unmute tab" or "Unmute site".
3. Check the volume of your computer.
   1. There may be volume controls on your keyboard.
   2. If you are using a laptop, unplug any external speakers, headphones or screens.
4. If you are using Bluetooth headphones, try re-connecting them with your computer.

We recommend using headphones for best sound quality.

Video is not loading or buffering

1. Make sure the video is not paused, if you see the Play ▶️ icon, click the icon to resume watching.
2. If you are using Internet Explorer, please make sure to install and enable Flash player.
3. Test your internet connection speed with an online test.
   We recommend at least 3/mbps download speed.
4. If you are using a VPN, try turning it off.
5. If you are on wireless, try following these tips to improve the internet speed:
   
   1. Move your router to a central location in your home.
   2. Do not place your router close to a microwave or cordless phones, they can create wireless interference.
   3. Keep your router off the floor. You'll have better signal strength if your router is on a shelf rather than behind or under furniture.
   4. Restart your router, to see if this may solve any internet connection issues.
6. Try a different connection, like a mobile hotspot or a wired connection.

Please also remember that public networks can often have limited bandwidth.

Video is freezing or stuttering

• Try using a modern web browser like Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari.
• Close any other open browser tabs that you do not need.
• Close any other apps running on your computer that you are not using.

Video quality is low

We use adaptive streaming quality, which means that you may see lower quality video just at the very beginning of the stream (so you can join quickly), or if your internet connection is slow.

Leave the stream playing for up to a minute to allow for the quality to improve. If the quality is still low after a minute, check our tips above on improving your internet connection.

Audio or video quality from a specific speaker is low

Unfortunately, some speakers may have a temporarily a slower internet connection, which can affect their audio/video. This is not something you can fix as a viewer.

Audio and video are out of sync

Pause the video by clicking the Pause ⏸  icon, then resume the video again after a few seconds by clicking the Play ▶️ icon.

Do I have to use VPN to see the video?

No, your event's website will be available outside of the VPN. We recommend that you do not use VPN if possible.

I have sent a question but it's not appearing

Questions you send in the Q&A panel are often moderated and managed by panelists. As soon as they see your question and decide that it's relevant for the discussion, they will approve it and the question will appear in the list.

Live stream interpretation

How do I switch on interpretation?

Click on the "Change the language" button in the stream player, select your language, and then click on Connect.

Make sure that you have switched on the interpretation and clicked on Connect in the Interprefy window. Live interpretation audio volume is adjusted via the computer volume, try to increase the volume on your computer.

I don’t see my language in the available options

This means that your language is not available for interpretation. For more information you may wish to contact your event organizer.

I hear both the live stream and the interpretation at the same time

Turn off the volume on the stream player so that you only hear the live interpretation volume.

Breakouts and Video calls

Test your browser and computer for compatibility with Video breakouts at test.webrtc.org.

Can I join a video call when using a VPN?

Right now we do not recommend using a VPN for video breakouts.

Because our service is using peer to peer connections, not having a consistent IP address can cause problems connecting to rooms, or in some cases a specific guest in the room.

Our recommendation is to temporarily turn off your VPN when having video breakouts, and then turn it back on after finishing the meeting.

I can join a video call but can't share my video/web cam

Only the first 12 participants who join the video breakout can share their video cameras/web cam with the group. The rest can join the session, see other participants, and appear in the participant list, but can't share the video/web cam.

If you are one of the first 12 participants and still can't share your web cam or microphone:

1. Make sure you have give the permission to the web browser to access both the camera and microphone. Depending on your browser you should see a camera icon in the URL bar and click on it.
2. Make sure you close other applications that may be using your camera at the same time (other video conferencing)
3. Follow this step-by-step troubleshooting guide

Can't join a video call or share video/audio

If you are having difficulties joining a video call or sharing your webcam or microphone, follow the steps below:

1. Confirm you have given the requested permissions to access your webcam and microphone.
2. Confirm that your browser does not have additional privacy settings that prevent it from sharing your webcam and microphone with websites.
3. Follow this step-by-step troubleshooting guide

Can't share my screen

Screen sharing is fully supported in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, where you can choose between sharing:

• Your full computer screen.

• A specific tab from your browser.

Safari currently supports only sharing your main screen.

My browser is not supported

If you are using a computer on which you cannot install new software, you will be unable to join the breakout.
