If your internet connection is poor or inconsistent, you may experience problems during playback. To resolve buffering issues, you can manually lower the video resolution by clicking “Auto” (next to the volume control) in the lower-right corner of the player window.

As an anti-piracy initiative, digital TIFF Bell Lightbox will block video playback work if you have a video-sharing program open. Please make sure you have completely closed down all applications that have the ability to record your screen. This includes but is not limited to Zoom, Google Hangouts, Facetime, or any other screen-recording programs.

The player has stopped working due to an error. Please take note of the specific error code or message, and contact customerrelations@tiff.net for assistance.

Check your minimum system requirements above. We recommend using the latest version of your browser. We use adaptive bit-rate streaming, which means the streaming quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed. For high-definition (HD) streaming we recommend VDSL, cable or fibre connections as we cannot guarantee consistent HD streaming on ADSL.
