Internet connections fluctuate in speed while you are connected. Try selecting a lower speed than you are currently running. If you are currently watching the presentation in high, try medium; if you are in medium, try low.

'Buffering' is the process in which media is stored temporarily on your computer. The amount of stored media depends on your connection speed. If the speed you choose is faster than your connection speed, the media will stop during the presentation. Try selecting a lower setting than you are currently running.
