• Il telecomando non risponde: Ensure fresh AAA batteries are installed correctly. Sometimes, pressing buttons twice may be necessary.
• Blurry Livestreaming (PowerPoint): When livestreaming content like PowerPoint presentations, some blurriness may occur. Recorded files generally maintain better quality.
