Try using a different bridge, or not using a bridge.
Try switching circuits (Ctrl+Shift+L in Tor Browser)
Also note that Tor is not designed for anything realtime or streaming. Those use-cases break its anonymity model. Do not use for voice, video, realtime games
Seriously if you want censorship resistance, please use one of the 100% free to use Tor nodes maintained by people like me
Not only does it cost you nothing, but us Tor node operators can’t doxx you or track you, the way any VPN can
But Tor is always slow as fuck for me.

Maybe it’s a silly question, but would using a VPN, like Mullvad, in conjunction with TOR make it even more secure, or is that just redundant?
In most cases using a VPN with Tor makes you less secure.
Any threat model covered by VPN+Tor is like a million times better covered by simply using Tor Bridges and no VPN
Thank you!
