Watching videos on the Internet is becoming more popular day by day. One of the recognized resources with an abundance of videos is Youtube. Its popularity is due to the variety of topics and opportunities presented. The videos from this video service are copied to other sites, links, HTML-codes for inserting into blogs, etc. are actively distributed. But many users when watching videos note situations when the video on YouTube slows down . This can and should be fought! Useful information is outlined in this article!
It should be noted right away that the service itself has no relation to this. There are three main reasons, each of which can lead to a situation where Youtube is slow:
1) a weak computer;
2) poor internet;
3) a problem with flash.
Many users do not take into account that a weak computer can cause Youtube to slow down. However, in most cases, this problem arises precisely because of a lack of computer resources. If it is not possible to buy a more powerful PC, then you can try the following steps:
1. Reduce the quality of the video being played. High-definition video, for example, with a height of 720 or 1080 pixels, requires very high performance, requiring a powerful processor, a large amount of RAM and a strong video card. Accordingly, by reducing the parameters, you can reduce the requirements for the hardware and eliminate the situation when Youtube slows down.
2. View administrator processes in the task manager. This item is especially true for laptops, the manufacturers of which "clog" startup with proprietary applications, which are mostly unnecessary for the average user. The situation is aggravated if the device is running under Vista or the new Seven, which in themselves require resources for normal operation. Looking through running processes, first of all, you need to pay attention to the most capacious of them. You should figure out which application uses so many resources.
Bad Internet directly affects what inhibits Youtube. You can determine this by the download indicator located under each video. If the red bar constantly “catches up” with the gray one, then this is precisely the reason. In such cases, reducing the resolution of the video you are watching can help. By the way, the minimum video resolution on Youtube is 240.
The last reason that Youtube slows down may be a problem with the flash player. If the videos are viewed on Google Chrome and in other browsers, the operation of which is based on the web kit engine, then the offline version of Adobe Flash Player should be disabled. This will eliminate the possible conflict of players in the system and allow you to view the video without slowing down.
In other browsers, you can try updating or reinstalling Flash Player itself. This is due to the fact that each new version is the result of “working on bugs”. Therefore, updates must be monitored and regularly installed. In case of using Mozzila Firefox, the user should pay attention to the number of extensions used, the abundance of which can also impede normal operation.
Faced with such a problem and knowing the reasons that cause it, it will not be difficult to eliminate the consequences. And enjoy watching videos on Youtube and on other services.
