Understanding the Buffer

How Disruptions Are Handled

4 min

When your internet drops, the client stops uploading but the relay continues draining the buffer to keep the audience stream alive. Recovery is automatic.

Key Points

Relay detects missing uploads and enters degraded state
Buffer countdown shows remaining time before splash fallback
When connection resumes, uploads restart and the buffer refills
The system auto-recovers without any manual intervention required

Details

The companion app shows real-time countdown of remaining buffer time during disruptions, letting you know exactly how much time you have to restore connectivity.
