Check you are connected to the internet – and if you are casting from one device to your TV, check that both devices are currently connected. If your internet connection is fine, please ensure you are running the latest version of the operating software on the device/s you are watching and download and install an update if not. Also, ensure you have disabled any pop-up blockers. All titles will play in a pop-up player, so any blocker you have will prevent you from viewing.
If casting from one device to your TV and your internet is connected with a strong signal and your software is updated, are you using one of the casting combinations recommended in bold above? If not, please do so if available.
If BAFTA View appears slow, or fails to load, this might because you need to clear the cookies or cache on your browser. The reason clearing cookies/cache can help, is due to browsers often storing versions of websites in the cache to avoid having to download everything (like images, backgrounds, logos, etc.) every time a website is visited. Problems can happen if the website has been updated recently and it conflicts with the cached version. Browser caches are temporary but some may store things for longer than others.
If you don’t clear your cache from time to time, you might not see changes on a website with your computer loading older, cached data. Old, unused extensions can also clutter up your browser, using your RAM and memory.
Clearing cookies/cache can also be called clearing site data or history data.
