What is Buffering?

Buffering is when a stream pauses to load more data, usually caused by a slow or unstable internet connection.

Buffering is that annoying pause when the video stops to catch up and load more of the stream. It is almost always an internet issue rather than a fault with the channel: your connection is too slow for the quality you are watching, your Wi-Fi is weak, or too many devices are streaming at once. Fixes include lowering the stream quality, using a wired (Ethernet) connection, or checking that your speed can handle the number of streams you are running.
