Hi Saksham,

It is important to practice the basic movements of footwork and get comfortable with them.

Take a look at our lesson on the Footwork Basics for some help with this.  If you can get these right then movement around the court becomes a lot easier.

That's strange. The iPad works fine for me. Are you able to watch embedded YouTube videos on other sites?
