Live Stream FAQ

What kind of Internet connection do I need to view a Livestream channel?

We recommend viewing Livestream from a wired connection with a download bandwidth of at least 700Kbps. However, you may require higher speeds if the channel producer is encoding at a higher bitrate. To test your speed, go to www.speedtest.net. Bandwidth fluctuates constantly (especially on WiFi and mobile internet), so running 3 tests is recommended. As a general rule your download bandwidth must be greater than the bitrate of the channel you’re trying to view.

Does my browser require any plug-ins?
