If possible, connect the computer to Ethernet.

If the guest is joining from a country in, for example, Asia. It is expected to have a longer loading time than usual.
Troubleshooting the Device
If none of the above steps have worked, restart the device and try to join the session. If it is still not working, attempt to log in from another device (another computer or on mobile with the Socialive app).
