The Windows PC detail that matters
The browser player uses hardware decoding, so a modern laptop will play 4K without the fan spinning up. VLC is better if you want a picture-in-picture window while you work.
If something goes wrong
Troubleshooting on Windows PC
On Windows the two usual culprits are a VPN and hardware decoding. Disconnect the VPN first. If VLC then stutters on 4K while the web player is smooth, turn hardware-accelerated decoding off under Tools → Preferences → Input/Codecs.
A workplace or campus network is the other common blocker, since streaming ports are frequently filtered there. Test the same login on a phone over cellular data: if that works, the network is the problem and no account change will fix it.
If one channel stalls while everything else plays, that channel’s source is at fault rather than your setup, and support can reroute it — the case the uptime SLA in our Terms of Service is written for.
