what does live stream do if you have slow internet? - Teenwolflover - 04-27-2014 11:27 PM
I have never used live stream before, i was wondering what would happen if you had slow internet and you were watching something on there, would it freeze or would it stop working???

it would freeze up and be really choppy.

If your internet isn't fast enough to handle the live stream, you will experience lag, or freezing and while its doing this your missing whatever is going on, until it catches up skipping ahead to the live point. If its on youtube you can sometimes choose the video quality of the stream you want to watch, which is helpful for slow internet.

You need at least 7 Mbps to have a good stream with minimal lag
