Video Playback Problems

Last updated July 30, 2024

Experiencing video playback issues can disrupt your learning flow. Here's a guide to troubleshooting common video problems on the Pluralsight platform:

Troubleshooting Video Playback Issues

  • Check Your Internet Connection: A weak or unstable internet connection can cause video buffering and playback interruptions. Ensure that your internet connection is strong and stable.
  • Refresh the Page: Sometimes, a simple page refresh can resolve temporary video loading issues.
  • Clear Your Browser Cache and Cookies: Cached data and cookies can sometimes interfere with video playback. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
  • Try a Different Browser: If you're using a specific browser that's consistently having video playback issues, try using a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
  • Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions can interfere with video playback. Temporarily disable any extensions you're using, and see if it improves the video experience.
  • Adjust Video Quality: If you're experiencing buffering or lag, try reducing the video quality setting in the Pluralsight player. This can help improve playback performance.
  • Reload the Video: If the video is still not playing correctly, try reloading the video by clicking the "Play" button again.
  • Check for Website Updates: Ensure you're using the latest version of the Pluralsight website. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • Contact Support: If you've tried all the steps above and are still encountering video playback issues, reach out to Pluralsight support for assistance. You can usually find their contact information on the Pluralsight website or within the help center.

Remember, video playback quality can also depend on your device's specifications and internet connection speed. If you're experiencing persistent video issues, it's a good idea to check these factors as well.
