Apollo Group TV on Windows & Mac PC: Setup and Streaming Guide

Troubleshooting Desktop Streaming Issues

Fix Buffering and Video Lag

• Use Ethernet Connections: Connect your PC or Mac to your router using an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi for steady network throughput.
• Bypass ISP Limits: If video streams stutter during peak hours, install a desktop VPN app (such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN) and connect to a server near your region.

Fix Audio/Video Sync Errors in VLC

1. Open VLC Preferences (Ctrl + P on Windows / Cmd + , on Mac).
2. Under Input / Codecs, locate Network Caching (ms).
