Video stream jerks - these tips will help

Sometimes when playing a video stream, the image may jerk. The reasons for this are many and can be found with the browser, your computer or the internet connection. In this article you will get an overview of which tips help to solve the problem.

Possible Causes When Video Stream Jerks

If the picture jerks while you are streaming a movie or an episode of your favorite show, it is extremely annoying. To fix the problem, it is first necessary to find the cause.

1. Since you are using your internet connection while streaming, please check if your computer or smart TV is properly connected to the internet and that you have a good signal strength.
2. If possible, connect your device to the Internet via LAN, as this will provide a more stable Internet connection and a higher fire bandwidth.
3. Also, do not perform any downloads or uploads on your computer while streaming, as this will cause your browsing speed to be degraded.
4. Also, try a different browser as a test. If the problem occurs here too, you probably need an update for your graphics card.

Video stream jerks: Clear browser cache as a solution

If the stream continues to jerk during playback, it may be helpful to clear your browser's cache to free up memory. Regardless of which browser you use, please press the key combination of "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Del" to do so first. If you use Chrome, then check "Cache images and files" in the window that opens and click "Clear browser data" to clear the cache. As a user of Internet Explorer, this can be done analogously by checking "Temporary Internet and website files" and clicking "Delete".
