🔍 Why Live Cams Buffer
Buffering usually comes from slow/unstable internet, Wi-Fi interference, overloaded devices, or sub-optimal browser settings. Distance to the streaming server and VPN/proxy latency also matter.
- 🐢 Slow internet or weak Wi-Fi signal
- 📱 Too many background apps/tabs
- 🌍 Distant server region
- 🔄 Outdated browser/device
- 🧱 VPN or proxy overhead
⚡ Quick Fixes to Stop Buffering Instantly
1) Test & Boost Connection
Run a quick speed test. For smooth HD, aim for 10 Mbps+. If it’s lower:
- 🔌 Use Ethernet or sit closer to the router
- 🚫 Pause downloads/streams on other devices
- 📶 Switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi
2) Update/Switch Browser
Use a modern browser (Chrome, Brave, Firefox). Keep it updated and ensure hardware acceleration is enabled.
3) Clear Cache & Cookies
Old cache can cause stutter. Clear: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cached images/files.
4) Disable VPN/Proxy
Unless you need it for throttling issues, VPNs add latency. Turn off or choose a nearby server.
5) Lower Quality Temporarily
Drop from 1080p to 720p/480p during congestion, then return to HD later.
