The beta website is kinda slow and the spinner is not loading, it's kinda stuck more info in the video

Hey is that a large image in the canvas? Do you have this in a multiplayer room somewhere, that we could check out?

[judicaelandria]

Hey yes it is! and somehow I cannot paste an image in the multiplayer room, it just past the image name

[TodePond]

Could you share the specific image here possibly? :)

[judicaelandria]

NB: I think the upload is working but it takes like 10+ to upload the image then it render it but after it rerender the image

[TodePond]

I guess tldraw should reduce the size of very big images like this! We're trying something out for this now :)

[TodePond]

Hey we're now scaling down large images! Does it work better on https://staging.tldraw.com now?

[judicaelandria]

it is faster on local yes, but not on multiplayer mode

[TodePond]

I'm thinking that might be due to the time it takes to download such a large file 🤔

[judicaelandria]

the non-multiplayer mode is downloading the large file too but it seems to be a lot faster than the multiplayer mode

[TodePond]

In non-multiplayer, the file is stored locally so it doesn't need to be downloaded - maybe that's it!

[judicaelandria]

yeah, maybe that's it! but I think it's better to show some sort of a loading state, just to tell the user that it's loading the image?

[TodePond]

Ok cool, glad we're figuring this out :) Yes I agree!
