I can't play a video or something seems wrong. What should I do?

Written by Ryan Quinn

If a video won't load, stops playing, or seems broken, it's usually caused by a connectivity issue or an outdated app version. Most problems can be fixed with a few quick steps.

What to try:

  • Check your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection — videos require a stable internet connection.

  • Close and reopen the app.

  • Try playing a different video to check if the issue is specific to one post.

  • Update the UpScrolled app from the App Store or Google Play.

  • Do not use a VPN or app blockers, as these can interfere with video playback.

  • Be aware that some older devices (e.g. Huawei models with Android 11) may experience playback issues.

  • Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

If the issue continues:

Contact [email protected] and include:

  • Screenshots and/or a screen recording.

  • Your device model and OS version.

  • Network speed (if known).

  • Steps to reproduce the issue (e.g. a specific video not playing).
