Streaming glitch

Answer:

LAG

Hint:

Your video stutters when the connection can't keep up with the action.

Explanation:

"Streaming glitch" points to "LAG" because that’s the common term for when video or audio stutters or freezes during playback. The word lag directly describes the delay or interruption, making it a straightforward definition clue. No wordplay here—just a direct connection between the problem (glitch) and its well-known name in streaming.
