What does "Sync Streams" do?
The Sync Streams feature attempts to align playback across all streams where possible (primarily for YouTube streams). This is especially useful when watching tournament rebroadcasts or synchronized content.

Technical Issues

Try refreshing the stream or checking the URL for accuracy.
