Troubleshooting will vary depending on circumstances.

Here are a few suggestions

Try Google Chrome.
Is Chrome up-to-date (see screenshot below)?
You have closed and re-opened the browser.
You have tried logging in through an incognito window.
Shut down (powered off) the device are restarted.
You're on a computer, not a mobile device.
Is this happening on just this device or more than one device?
You're not using a VPN or on a corporate network.
You have tried using a different browser like Firefox and experience the same issue.

Video / Sound issues

Blurry or inconsistent video is almost always a bandwidth issue. The live trading room uses a lot of bandwidth, do to the video being live, and there is also a live chat using bandwidth as well.

If you are using a wireless connection, try moving closer to the router.
Try being hardwired to the back of the router or try plugging the network cable a different port on the back of the router.
Recorded video should play fine with any normal high-speed data connection.
Run an internet speed test from an ISP (see below links). Just because Netflix or YouTube video play fine does not mean bandwidth and latency are good, those services may have dedicated servers at your ISP.
Occasionally, the recording may be flawed, in which case, send us a link to the video and we'll see if there is a suitable backup copy we can post instead.
Sound (or video) issues that can't be solved through settings could be due to incompatible or outdated drivers, or driver updates that overwrite previously compatible drivers.
