Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Dropout does

Dropout is a subscription streaming service for comedy, built by the team behind CollegeHumor and known for shows including Dimension 20 and Game Changer. Subscribers watch on the web and through mobile and television apps, and the service also runs a merchandise store. It is a small independent platform rather than one of the large studio-backed services.

What an outage looks like

Video will not start, or stops partway and fails to resume, while the rest of the site loads normally. The player shows a loading state that never resolves. Sign-in fails or the site does not recognise an active subscription. The merchandise store returns errors at checkout. Apps on television devices show a connection error.

What to do about it

Read status.dropout.tv, which reports dropout.tv, watch.dropout.tv and store.dropout.tv as three separate components, each with its own uptime history. Playback lives on watch.dropout.tv, so the main site loading normally does not mean video is working. Before assuming an outage, try a different network or device, since streaming failures are frequently local to one connection.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Dropout is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 18 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Dropout outage FAQ

The site loads but videos will not play. Is Dropout down?
Check watch.dropout.tv on status.dropout.tv, which is a component separate from the main dropout.tv site. Playback runs on its own infrastructure, so browsing, account pages and the schedule can all work while video fails. This split is the most common shape of a Dropout incident, and it is why the site looking fine proves very little.
Is it Dropout or my internet connection?
Try another network first, such as mobile data instead of home broadband, and try a second device. Streaming is far more sensitive to a weak connection than ordinary browsing, so video failing while pages load is often local rather than a service outage. If status.dropout.tv shows all three components operational, your connection is the likelier cause.
Does the Dropout app work when the website is down?
Apps and the website reach the same playback service, so an incident affecting watch.dropout.tv usually reaches every device rather than only the browser. If video plays in an app but not on the web, or the other way round, that pattern points at your own browser, an extension or that specific device rather than at a Dropout outage.
Can I still buy merchandise during an outage?
The store is its own component on status.dropout.tv, listed as store.dropout.tv separately from the main site and from playback, so it can be available while video is not, or fail on its own while everything else works. Check that row rather than assuming one verdict covers everything Dropout runs.
Will I be credited for a day I could not watch anything?
Dropout does not publish a policy about outage credits on its status page, so that is a question for its support team rather than something the status page answers. What the status page does give you is the record: the uptime history for watch.dropout.tv shows when playback was actually affected, which is the evidence worth quoting.

How we measure this

  • We request Dropout's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 7 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Dropout publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
