Self service. Try this first!!!
First, check out the status page.
If it's clean:
- Refresh the page.
- If that didn't work, keep refreshing the page (for at most 10 times)
- If still, wait a few minutes then repeat.
- If you're still having issues let me know.
Please remember that due to nature of "alternative frontends," issues are inevitable.
Answers below assume you completed the basic self service.
Hot issues
Videos not loading on iOS
This is an Invidious issue. github.com/invidious#2236
For now, you can go into Settings and change Preferred video quality to something other than DASH.
API, apps, integrations, etc. not working
API is restricted due to abuse. This is necessary if we don't want the instance to be blocked. Yes, Invidious abuse is real.
Download not working
Downloads are disabled. This instance is for humans, for watching videos. Use a service designed specifically for downloads, like cobalt.tools or yt-dlp.
Premieres or live streams not loading
This is an Invidious issue. github.com/invidious-companion#7
Cannot play age-restricted videos
Because a YouTube account is needed to view such videos, they will not play on Invidious.
No subtitles
It might be an Invidious bug, but I'm not sure and there's nothing about it on issue trackers.
