Current Status of Open Issues:

Update – Playback - We identified an issue that affected Playback on entries that were uploaded/transcoded on September 3rd. Symptoms include buffering, spinning wheel or dark screen. The root cause has been identified and addressed. For entries created on September 3rd, please work with our Customer Care team; we are anticipating one additional fix that will allow us to re-process these entries. An update will be provided on Monday.

Update - Transcoding and Upload Delays – work continues to reduce the backlog and we have seen significant improvement in the overall queue. We still face a higher than normal volume of jobs, however we expect the queue to clear over the weekend. We are closely monitoring this situation.

Update - Webcast File Upload – fix has been completed and is still in QA. An ETA will be provided based on QA results. In the interim, if you need to run a Webcast and require slides during the weekend, please contact Customer Care for alternate options.

Update - Doc Conversion – fix has been completed and will be moving into QA phase. ETA will be provided on Monday.

Update - Upload Errors & VOD Playback Errors and Thumbnail Images – due to ongoing optimizations on the platform, occasional errors may occur. We are planning to address these items with resolution by end of the weekend.

Update - Captioning performance – we are still working with the vendor to find the root cause for the delays. We are actively mitigating the delays as best as possible. Delays are currently contained to less than 10 hours. We expect the queue to reduce over the weekend.

What to expect next – we will update the status page by 6 PM UTC on Saturday, September 5th.
