Maybe if you have fast internet connection. I'm on a HSDPA+ connection and Twitch is unusable, not even the VODs. Then again, Youtube and Vimeo is pretty much the only sites from which I can watch video streams smoothly.
- nindalf 10y agoWhat's your location? I've found the same - I can stream HD on Youtube gaming without an issue but not anything better than Twitch Medium. Sometimes I need to downgrade to low or mobile quality to keep up. I figured it was because of my location (not EU or NA).
- predakanga 10y agoI'm curious, have you tried viewing the streams or VODs through an alternate player? I've found that I can almost always improve the smoothness of their content by using Livestreamer[0] to play it in VLC (or Kodi, more often) [0]: http://docs.livestreamer.io http://docs.livestreamer.io

- lossolo 10y agoIt doesn't have anything to do with the topic. It's quality of their network or quality of yours that is the main reason here. Not software.
- Dobbs 10y agoMind sending me details? I can be reached at tarrant@twitch.tv. Information that can help are things like who your ISP is, what your specific IP is, where you are located. Possibly a traceroute to live.twitch.tv. We really do care about the QOS of users and are constantly working to improve service to users everywhere in the world.
