Hmm... Works just fine for me on Chrome Ver. 44. (Ubuntu 14.04)

Sometimes a conflicting browser extension can interrupt video clients.

I'd try a few things to diagnose the problem.

  1. Restart browser
  2. Try incognito mode
  3. Disable All browser extensions
  4. Try on a different machine
  5. Change networks if you can
  6. Make sure your browser is fully updated
  7. Check if this problems exists on other browsers
  8. Lastly, restart your computer and see if that helps

If nothing works, I'd contact treehouse support help@teamtreehouse.com. They're really friendly and try their best to get you back up and learning!

Good luck!

You might have to clear your web browser history and flush all the cookies stored. If your using Windows, I would recommend using CCleaner (the free version). Mayk
