Here in this article, we’ve gathered the first important steps and tips for beginners. If you encounter any problems with the installation, please refer to our installation guide. On the right side in the sidebar, you’ll find all the important topics for which we have created tutorials in both video and text form.
Before you watch the video
Some customers have mentioned in the past that certain tutorial videos either play too quickly or appear blurry. However, you can easily adjust all these settings in YouTube.
Adjusting playback speed
If you find the video is playing too fast, simply left-click the gear icon.
Then click on “Playback speed” and select a slower speed. Simply experiment to find the speed that suits you best.
Setting the highest video quality
Always make sure that the highest video quality or resolution is selected for each video. Otherwise, the videos will appear blurry, and you won’t be able to clearly see menu items or text. To do this, click on the gear icon at the bottom right of the video again to access the settings, then click on “Quality.”
Now choose the highest resolution and click on it with your left mouse button.
