Playback

Fix buffering, stuttering or a video that will not start

The viewer’s connection must carry the export’s bitrate, and the device must be able to decode its codec and resolution.

Reviewed 2026-09-09 · uncompressed.io support

What to do

  1. Open the link in an up-to-date browser outside the built-in browser of an email or messaging app.
  2. For a reported network error, use the player’s Retry option when available.
  3. If it keeps buffering, try a stable connection and pause briefly to let it load.
  4. If the picture still stutters after loading, close demanding applications and test a lighter export on the same device.

What to expect

The test helps distinguish a network problem from a codec or device limitation.

Keep in mind

A larger or higher-bitrate master is not universally smooth on every connection. Support cannot infer an outage from one playback error.
