Troubleshooting
Our platform is not working for you? You can’t join a room or the website won’t load? Here is a quick guide to fix your problem.
Enable WebGL
If https://gidd.io is lagging or animations are really slow, it’s usually because you don’t have WebGL enabled. You can enable this in your browser and it is actually enabled by default but sometimes browser extensions disable it.
In Chrome:
- Go to Chrome Menu -> Settings -> Advanced
- Then enable Use hardware acceleration under System.
- Relaunch Chrome
- Tip chrome://gpu in the chrome adressbar to check if hardware acceleration is turned on
In Firefox:
- Go to about:config
- search for webgl
- double click on webgl.enable until the value is true
- restart Firefox
