Troubleshooting
No audio from certain apps?
Some apps with DRM protection (like Netflix or Apple Music) may not allow audio capture. This is a system limitation.
Connection issues?
Make sure you're on a stable internet connection. If you're behind a corporate firewall, some ports may need to be opened for WebRTC.
High latency?
Latency depends on the distance between you and your listeners. For best results, ensure both broadcaster and listeners have good internet connections.
