Metzee runs in a browser. There is nothing to install.
The connection
Live video needs a steady connection more than a fast one. A stable 2 Mbps will watch a show; an unstable 20 will stutter.
On mobile data it works; it uses data like any video. If you are rationing, join for the item you want rather than the whole hour.
The browser
A current Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Very old versions struggle with live video specifically — the rest of the site will be fine and the show will not.
The device
Anything from roughly the last five years. An older phone will watch happily; it may get warm, and heat is what makes a stream stutter on an old device rather than the processor itself.
What to allow
Sound, which browsers block by default on autoplay — tap once to unmute.
Notifications, if you intend to bid. A payment reminder you did not see is a win you lose.
What slows it down
Battery saver pausing a background tab. A VPN adding a detour. Fifteen other tabs. A download running.
Questions people ask
Do I need an account to watch?
No. Only to bid or chat.
Can I watch on a laptop?
Yes, and it is better for judging an item closely.
Is there an app?
Not yet — browser only, for now.
