Frequently Asked Questions

Anytime you are casting to a TV there could be a lag depending on what you are casting. This can be caused by having to many web pages open or having multiple video streams open in a browser. Just because you do not think you have video steams open in a browser does not mean you do not have other streams running. any time you go to any mews sights and you see a video playing that is a streaming video and will play in the background taking bandwidth away from the stream you are trying to cast to the TV. Please remember that if you are casting from a device to another device this takes wireless bandwidth the more windows of a browser you have open and updating the more bandwidth you are using. As an example if I have youtube open and CNN and I want to show a utube video and I do not close down the cnn tab then I am actually casting two videos and have two video streams open at the same timme although I am only viewing one of them both are consuming bandwidth which will double the bandwidth you are consuming. This will cause a lag in casting to the TV. So if you have 30 browser tabs open to all of your favorite sights all updating in the background you should expect a delay when casting. Also if you are teaching from a google doc and making updates to it while showing a class and it is not local this will also take bandwidth from casting to the TV's. This will not be as dramatic but anytime the doc auto saves you will definitely see a lag if you are casting.
