Native English speakers sometimes write "could have" as "could of", which is probably based in the colloquial sound "could've". Here in the video at 1:26 - 1:28, what do you hear the speaker says? The captions of the video show "and have my own preferences" yet the sound seems to mean "and of my own preferences". I am not absolutely sure.

It's not not working for me. (They have slowed things down because I have been using too much data. :-| )
 
How much is your bandwidth? Mine is 200M and it works both fine on my laptop and iPad.
 
I use a smartphone powered by Android. (I should remember the exact name of the phone, but I don't right now.)
 
She very clearly says of.

I don't know how much bandwidth I have. (It's an LG Stylo 6.)
