Certain adware blockers and other types of blockers can interfere with streaming events. Turning off these blockers before the stream could help.

Try switching the browser you are using to Chrome. Sometimes the stream loads more slowly in Safari and Internet Explorer, but opening the stream in a different web browser, like Chrome, may help.
