How do I get my pet’s video to play smoothly?

If your pet’s video starts and stops when you select the play button on your pet’s profile (i.e., it buffers when you try and play it), then try recording a new video at a lower resolution. Device-specific instructions are below. After recording a new video, go to your Dashboard and, under your pet’s photo, select (small screens) or Add / Update, select Update Video, then select Replace with another video and follow the instructions.
