My Question or Issue

The desktop app is lagging, although my PC is powerful enough to handle bigger programs. Is it me or the addition of video content made the app too heavy?

Hey @neutral_fog, thanks for asking in the Community! 🎵

 

Could you try turning the hardware acceleration option on or off in the desktop app settings? See if that makes any difference.

 

Also, does this happen only during video content playback or with other content?

 

Keep me posted. 🙂
