      Streams: Delay in Live Stream

      Learn why a delay may be seen in the live streams from third-party tools to Brella.

      To be covered: 

      Intro

      The delay varies depending on the streamer's and viewer's internet connection and geographical location. It will also depend on the streaming solution you are using. On average, a video stream from third-party tools loads from 10 to 30 secs later than the actual video. 

      💡 Tips to reduce the delay while streaming

      You can suggest participants and your team to:

      1. Use a wired connection. If possible, connect your computer or laptop to your wireless Internet router using an Ethernet cable.
      2. Close down bandwidth-intensive programs to ensure you have enough capacity to stream smoothly. (Anything necessary while streaming)
      3. The minimum bandwidth that our platform requires to run is 3-5Mbps bandwidth, the minimum for watching streams. Without watching a stream, it can be less.
      4. Pause downloads (such as any updates) may be running in the background and turn off background updating programs.
      5. If you are in a place with lots of other people, you’ll also want to ask them to pause their downloads & updates or wait until they’re done before you start streaming.
