Common causes

  • More devices streaming at the same time than your plan includes
  • An app left running in the background

Work through these in order

  1. Stop playback on a device that is not being watched.
  2. Fully close the player on phones; some keep the stream open in the background.
  3. Wait two minutes for the server to release the connection.
  4. If the household needs more screens, the plan can be raised any time.

Still not right?

Plans go from one to four screens; installing on more devices is fine, only simultaneous streams count.

About this fix

Why does this happen?

Usually one of these: more devices streaming at the same time than your plan includes; an app left running in the background.

What if the steps do not help?

Plans go from one to four screens; installing on more devices is fine, only simultaneous streams count. Then message the desk on WhatsApp or by text; most messages get a reply within 30 minutes during desk hours.
