## Self service. Try this first!!!
First, check out [the status page](https://status.id.420129.xyz).
If it's clean:
1. Refresh the page.
2. If that didn't work, keep refreshing the page (for at most 10 times)
3. If still, wait a few minutes then repeat.
4. If you're still having issues [let me know.](README.md)
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](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/2236)
For now, you can go into [Settings](https://id.420129.xyz/preferences) 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](https://cobalt.tools) or yt-dlp.
### Premieres or live streams not loading
This is an Invidious issue. [github.com/invidious-companion#7](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious-companion/issues/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.
### My issue is not on this list
[Let me know.](README.md)
