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.
