First of all it depends on your browser. Basically you need to proceed to your browser settings and find the hardware acceleration setting there. We're going to help you with that to make it easier for you. :)

If you use Chrome:

  1. Enter chrome://settings in the address bar at the top of Chrome. Or, use the menu button at the top right of the browser to choose Settings.
  2. Scroll to the very bottom of that page and choose the Advanced link.
  3. Now scroll to the very bottom of that page of settings to find some other options. Under the System heading, locate and enable the Use hardware acceleration when available option.
  4. If you're told to relaunch Chrome, go ahead and do that by exiting any open tabs and then opening Chrome again. 

Yes, it is that simple!


If you use Firefox:

  1. Use the menu button at the top right of the browser to choose Settings
  2. Scroll to the bottom of that page to the Performance section
  3. Disable the Use recommended performance settings checkbox
  4. Enable the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox when it appeares
  5. Apply and restart to save the changes.
