2. Is your space equipped with a high speed internet connection that is reliable? It is recommended to connect directly to your router using an Ethernet cable for wired Internet, although wireless networks can also work well.
3. Have you downloaded Chrome or Firefox to your computer/laptop/tablet or smart phone to use as an Internet browser? Standard browsers like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, or Safari on a Mac may encounter compatibility issues with video software, as those browsers aren't as up-to-date with modern code. If you use any of the above, let me know 1 day in advance to send you the link of our other shortcut platform.
