WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING
Troubleshooting
Start with the simple checks. Change one thing at a time.
My Stream Keeps Stopping
- Check your upload speed.
- Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi when possible.
- Lower the NovaNet profile one step.
- Stop cloud backups, downloads, and other heavy internet use.
- Test a different internet path.
My Video Is Choppy
- Your upload may be too close to your stream bitrate.
- Your computer or encoder may be overloaded.
- 60 fps may be too heavy for the current system.
- Wi-Fi or cellular may be losing packets.
- Try 720p30 or 1080p30 and test again.
My Audio Sounds Bad
- Move the microphone closer.
- Turn down gain if the sound is clipping.
- Use headphones to check the real Program audio.
- Keep microphones away from speakers when possible.
- Check that the correct microphone is selected.
Venue Wi-Fi Was Fast Earlier but Is Slow Now
The room may have filled with people. Shared Wi-Fi and cellular towers can slow down when many users arrive. Move to a dedicated wired connection, lower the profile, or switch to the backup path.
What Should I Tell NovaNet Support?
- What device or encoder are you using?
- What resolution and fps?
- What bitrate?
- What internet connection?
- What is the measured upload speed?
- Are you on Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular?
- What happened and when?
- Did the stream reconnect?
