TL;DR

Most live streaming problems are fixed on your side: refresh the page, switch to Chrome or Safari, update your browser and operating system, clear the cache, and restart your device and network. Note that going live requires a premium plan (Basic, Plus, or Pro).

Answer

If a live stream will not load or behaves unexpectedly, start with general client-side fixes: refresh, close other browser windows and apps, try a different browser (Chrome or Safari are recommended), update your browser and OS, clear the browser cache, and restart your device and home network. In the mobile app, uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version resolves most issues. If you cannot start a live stream yourself, check your plan — Live Streaming is available only with premium plans.

  • Refresh the page, or close all browser windows and restart the browser.

  • In the mobile app, uninstall the Gan Jing World app and reinstall the latest version.
