Performance Optimization

Use Wired Connection

For the best performance, use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi. This reduces latency and packet loss.

Wi-Fi can work, but wired is always better for streaming

Close Background Applications

Close applications that use bandwidth (video streaming, downloads, cloud sync) to ensure pixel streaming has maximum bandwidth available.

Use 5GHz Wi-Fi

If you must use Wi-Fi, connect to a 5GHz network instead of 2.4GHz. 5GHz provides faster speeds and less interference.

QoS Settings

Configure Quality of Service (QoS) on your router to prioritize gaming traffic. This ensures pixel streaming gets priority over other network activity.

Use Hardware Acceleration

Enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings. This uses your GPU to decode video streams, reducing CPU usage and improving performance.

Usually enabled by default in modern browsers

Close Unused Tabs

Close other browser tabs and applications to free up system resources. Each tab consumes memory and CPU.

Disable Browser Extensions

Some browser extensions can interfere with video decoding. Try disabling extensions if you experience performance issues.

Update Your Browser

Keep your browser updated to the latest version. Newer versions include performance improvements and bug fixes.

High Latency / Input Lag

• Reduce video quality setting
• Enable latency optimization mode
• Use wired connection instead of Wi-Fi
• Close bandwidth-intensive applications
• Check your internet connection speed

Stuttering / Frame Drops

• Lower video quality setting
• Enable adaptive quality
• Check for network packet loss
• Close other applications
• Update browser and graphics drivers

Poor Visual Quality

• Increase video quality setting (if bandwidth allows)
• Check your internet connection speed
• Disable adaptive quality to maintain consistent quality
• Ensure you're not on a bandwidth-limited connection
