Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if the VR video is blurry during playback?
A: Check the video resolution and bitrate. It is recommended to use a resolution of 2K or higher, with a bitrate of at least 10Mbps.
Q: What if the gyroscope control doesn't work on mobile devices?
A: The gyroscope feature requires an HTTPS environment, and some devices may require the user to manually grant permission.
Q: Why is the video loading slowly in VR mode?
A: VR video files are large and require a high-quality network connection. It is recommended to use a 5G or WiFi network for viewing.
Q: Some older Android devices cannot play VR videos properly?
A: Due to device compatibility issues, some older Android devices may not play VR videos correctly. If compatibility with older devices is needed, it is recommended to keep the video resolution below 3840x2160; otherwise, compatibility issues may result in audio-only playback with no video display.
Q: What should I do if the video stutters during playback?
A: VR videos generally have high resolution, and VR viewing mode demands significant performance. If the device performance is low, stuttering may occur. It is recommended to use a high-performance device or reduce the video resolution.
