What if I have issues playing back the videos?

If you’re having trouble viewing a video in The Collective or anywhere else on the site:

  • Try turning off HD.
  • Confirm that your internet connection is strong and allow the videos to fully load before playing.
  • Check what version of browser and operating system you’re using: http://www.thismachine.info and try to update to the newest version that your hardware can support. Also, some browsers may not support the Vimeo Player (Older versions of Firefox and Internet-Explorer seem to be problematic). We’ve found Chrome and Safari to be the most stable.
  • Full-screen: Click on the four, tiny arrows next to the Vimeo logo to watch the video in full screen. You can use the escape button to return to the post.
  • iPads & tablets: You may need to install the free Vimeo App.
  • Lastly, sometimes a quick restart of your computer can solve many problems.

If problems persist, please send us an email at: [email protected], we’ll get back to you asap. Thanks!

What if I have issues with the videos not showing up properly on my phone, tablet or desktop?

The site was designed from the ground up to be viewable on a wide range of devices. This includes desktops, phones and tablets. However, there are some limitations.

If you are seeing an issue with the way anything is showing up on your mobile device, desktop or tablet, or if something just doesn’t seem quite right, then please send an email directly to the awesome team at 7/Apps ([email protected]). Emails to them should be specifically about the site not about working on your device. But before you reach out to them, please check what version of browser  (Click here to find out) and what operating system you’re using (you’ll need to tell them that in your email), and try to update to the newest version that your hardware can support. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, send them a note.

Still stuck? Please send us an email at: [email protected], we’ll get back to you ASAP. Thanks.
