1. Common Issues and How to Fix Them (Audio, Video, Connectivity)

When livestreaming, technical issues can arise unexpectedly. Here are some common problems and solutions to get you back on track:

Audio Issues

Problem: Viewers can’t hear you, or there’s no sound during your livestream.

• Solution:
  • Check your microphone connection to make sure it’s properly plugged in or enabled.
  • Ensure your microphone is not muted or set too low in the Tebtalks audio settings.
  • If you're using external audio equipment, verify it’s correctly configured and working.
  • Test audio on another device or browser to rule out browser-specific issues.

Problem: Audio is distorted or has a lag.

• Solution:
  • Lower the input volume or gain on your microphone to prevent clipping.
  • Close unnecessary apps or programs that might be using up your system’s resources, causing delays.
  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection to avoid lag or buffering issues.

Video Issues

Problem: No video or blurry video.

• Solution:
  • Ensure your camera is properly connected and recognized by Tebtalks.
  • Make sure the camera lens is clean and not obstructed.
  • Adjust the camera settings within Tebtalks to ensure your video feed is set to the correct resolution and aspect ratio.
  • Restart your device or application if necessary to resolve any temporary glitches.

Problem: Video freezes or has low quality.

• Solution:
  • Lower the video quality settings in Tebtalks to match your internet speed.
  • Check for other apps or devices that may be using your internet bandwidth and close them.
  • Use a wired connection (Ethernet) instead of Wi-Fi if possible to improve video stability.

Connectivity Issues

Problem: Stream is buffering or dropping.

• Solution:
  • Ensure your internet connection is stable. Hardwiring your device to the router with an Ethernet cable is often more reliable than Wi-Fi.
  • Close any apps or programs that could be using up bandwidth, such as downloads or streaming services.
  • If using Wi-Fi, consider moving closer to the router or using a Wi-Fi extender to improve signal strength.

Problem: Unable to connect to the internet or stream.

• Solution:
  • Check your internet connection and ensure it’s stable and working.
  • Test your connection speed using a speed test tool; Tebtalks typically recommends a minimum upload speed of 3 Mbps for smooth streaming.
  • Restart your router or modem to fix any temporary connectivity issues.

2. Why Can’t I Go Live? (Account Restrictions and Policy Violations)

If you're unable to start your livestream on Tebtalks, there might be account restrictions or policy violations in place. Here's what to check:

Account Restrictions

• Problem: You're unable to start a livestream despite following all the steps.
  • Possible Cause:
    • Your account may be under review or temporarily suspended due to a violation of Tebtalks' terms of service or community guidelines.
    • You may have a pending verification process that needs to be completed before you can go live.
  • Solution:
    • Check your email for any notifications from Tebtalks regarding your account status. This will often include reasons for any restrictions.
    • Log into your Tebtalks account and ensure all profile information is complete and correct.
    • Complete any necessary verification steps (such as providing identification or confirming your email address).

Policy Violations

• Problem: The livestream button is disabled, or you can't go live.

Possible Cause:

• Violation of Community Guidelines: If your content or account has violated Tebtalks’ community guidelines, it can lead to restrictions on your ability to stream.
• Copyright Issues: If you have used copyrighted material without permission, it could result in a livestream ban or suspension.
• Repetitive Offenses: Multiple community guideline violations may result in more severe actions like a permanent ban or suspension of your ability to livestream.

Solution:

• Review the community guidelines and terms of service to ensure your content complies.
• If you believe the restriction was a mistake, you may be able to appeal the decision by contacting Tebtalks Support.
