Fix Discord Music Bot lagging or stuttering only for me
If Discord Music Bot is lagging or stuttering only for you, try the following solutions. Let us talk about them in detail.
1] Check your Internet Connection
Let us start by checking your Internet Connection and make sure that you have proper bandwidth. Otherwise, due to the lack of network, the music bot will stutter. You can use any of the Internet Speed testers to know your bandwidth. In case your bandwidth is low, try connecting other devices to the same network and see if they are having the same Internet crises. If you conclude that all the devices connected to your network have this issue, contact your ISP. If it’s just your device, fix the slow Internet issue.
