2.Internet connection

Internet connection is one of the most important things that you should consider if you have to enjoy any streaming services. Kayo is no exception. Therefore, when you have low internet speed or poor internet connection, it might not work very well.

Whenever you realize that your Kayo is not working as required, you might want to check on the internet connection. You can try disconnecting the cables before putting them back or reducing the number of devices that are being used on the same network.

The most ideal internet speed that might serve you well when using Kayo is usually recommended at 7.5mps. Less than this might be a little troublesome. Generally, always make sure you have a stable internet connection when streaming.

3. The servers might be down

At times, you try resolving all the problems that might be causing Kayo not to work but nothing seems to work. This might mean that the device or internet connection does not have any problems and it is not the cause for the issues.

It is possible that the problem is with the servers from which your video is supposed to stream from. When such issues arise, there. Little you can actually do apart from waiting for them to resolve the issues internally.

4. Temporary loading issue

Before you interrupt your internet connection or start calling customer support, consider checking if it is actually anything to do with loading. If you have a temporary loading issue, it should be easy to resolve within no time.

All you need when such occurs is to stabilize the stream simply by pausing it for a while and then continuing. This would give enough time for the data packets that contain your video to load first before they are transmitted in the stream.

This issue is temporary and it is usually that easy to resolve. Normally if the issue is not the loading problem, even if you pause and play again, the video won’t play. That would mean there is a more advanced problem that needs to be fixed.

5. Many people using the app simultaneously

Note that having so many people either on the same network or watching simultaneously on the app might actually cause the Kayo app or program to be overloaded and it might not work as required.

It is the best practice to only use a single device when streaming anything off of Kayo. This actually works to reduce the workload of the network, app, or webpage.
