Overview
If your internet connection is not fast enough, you may experience buffering when streaming Fubo.
Normally, Fubo adjusts video quality to match your internet speed to prevent buffering. If buffering still occurs, you can manually lower the video quality on your device.
This feature is unavailable on some Fubo supported devices. For help, see the linked device support sites. Note that device setting changes will apply to all video streaming apps.
