SIMPLE TIPS for successful live streaming:

With the switch to HTML 5 and the new live streaming protocols, if you can watch YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, you should have no issues live streaming or watching videos on streamingforthesoul.com.

If you have an older device running on an older version of Windows or OS X with older browsers, below are a few things you can do to increase the likelihood you’ll have a successful streaming experience.

• Clear your browser history before you start streaming.
• Update Flash so you are running the most current version of Flash possible on your computer.
• Update your browser so you are running the most current version of your browser possible.
• Do a shut down on your computer, then restart prior to streaming. This reloads Flash and clears out memory.
• Stream with only 1 tab open on your browser, the tab you’re using to watch the stream. This insures there won’t be background scripts from other websites running on your computer.
• Make sure you have sufficient Internet bandwidth to watch a stream. A symptom of insufficient bandwidth is seeing the spinning circle on the player screen, or the stream stopping and starting. You can check your bandwidth by going to speedtest.net.  You need a minimum of 5mbps of download speed to view streaming.
• If you can plug in to your router rather than stream wireless, it’s more reliable, though not necessary.
• Please sign in at your earliest convenience to make sure you’re able to get to the player page. You should have the link for the live stream player page on your My Account page which is where you’ll be directed after you sign in. Please don’t wait until the last minute!
