There are a few common reasons why there could be an issue when viewing your games.

  1. Unstable internet at the venue where the camera systems are installed. This is the most common and we try our best to make sure our customers install the cameras where there is stable internet speeds.

  2. Your internet speeds may be too slow. You need 5mbps download speeds in order to watch the game without any interruptions. You can check your connection speed here: https://www.speedtest.net/

1. Unstable internet connection at the venue where the camera systems are installed

If you are experiencing buffering/spinning wheel it is likely due to slow network speeds at the venue where the camera systems are permanently installed. The sports organizations broadcast the game(s) are responsible for ensuring there is a stable network connection to the Spiideo camera systems at every venue.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your games will NOT be lost. They will be viewable once the video fully uploads to our servers. We understand this is not ideal as you wanted to watch the live event; but you can also re-watch the recording once it's fully uploaded as many times as you'd like.

If you are very dissapointed that you could not watch the live stream, then you can contact playsupport@spiideo.com to request a refund.
