When watching a streaming video via a media streamer, a smart Blu-ray player or directly on a smart TV, there is nothing more annoying than the video stopping and starting again and/or a screen popping up with the message 'loading'.

Hate buffering issues while live streaming? Use these 5 tricks to avoid it!

Streaming devices “buffer” video. That means they stream video before you watch it, so it plays continuously. At least that’s the idea.

When the video reaches the point where the file was streaming, there may be a delay. This means that it will pause and you will see a spinning arrow, spinning circle, or loading message on your TV screen. Once the video stream reaches the point, it will start playing again.

This can take a few seconds or several minutes. If the video is long (movie or TV show), you may experience multiple buffering sessions during your viewing time.
