I was. Drop the resolution (bottom right, quality settings) and it tends to solve it.

Casting is illegal. The first couple of cup games you could for some reason.

If streaming is possible, you will see a small square symbol with what looks like a sound symbol in the corner. Tap on that and it will tell you which room and tv you can stream from if you have chromecast.

Hi All I had trouble with applying my discount code for the Walsall game and emailed ifollow a few times with only an automated response. I called them on 01772325800 this morning and obtained my discount :D
To watch matches on my TV I bought a usb to hdmi adaptor for my phone and watched on TV that way. Not a very good frame rate (picture was jerky) but mostly ok to watch
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

I tried and got the same thing a while back. Audio but no video. Weirdly, it seemed to work as long as the pause/symbol and the tracker bar along the bottom stayed on the screen. Very annoying and wasn't worth it to have the game covered by that. USB to HDMI adapter seems to be the way to do it from a phone or tablet. I connected a 32" telly to the pc and runs like a dream. Excellent picture and no buffering or stoppages. These seem like the only ways to get it on a proper telly.
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

I watch the games on my TV using Chromecast.
£30 from ASDA plug it into an HDMI port on your TV.
Install the Google Home app on your phone, ipad or laptop.
Whatever is on your screen is shown on your TV.
Works great for me.

Gosh, all this faffing around trying to get it on your TV sounds like more faff than it's worth.

I've watched the games on my MacBook. It's not a big screen obviously but sitting with it on my lap for 90 mins is no problem (unless I jump up when we score! 😀)
No bubblewrap unpopped.

I have never had any problems with video on iFollow. I am using Firefox with fibre broadband.

I've tried a few different solutions for watching on TV using wireless / mobiles / tablets but by far the easiest and best way for me was to just hard wire my laptop into the TV using hdmi and watch through a browser window. If your laptop / Chromebook ect has a hdmi port, try that first.
How does it make you feel to know that you voted for this?

Yep, that's the job for me. Never had a problem. I'd rather watch it on my tv screen than a laptop any day.
Don't let the old man in.
