This guide will assist your end users to perform their own troubleshooting to solve the playback issues that occurred on their devices. Also, in the case that users cannot repair the issue by themselves, this guide can also help collect relevant information to speed up the issue clarification.

The following are the steps to perform device troubleshooting:

Step 1: Check network connection

To ensure the network connection is stable, you can suggest the user open another web page or application to confirm that the network is working properly, or try another trusted network connection to confirm whether the issue is related to a specific network.

Step 2: Check firewall and network settings

Please ensure that the user's firewall or network settings do not block related ports or services.

For web playback, you can suggest the user check whether the browser is the latest version. If not, please update to the latest version.
