‘Simply cool’

“Anyone having trouble watching live streams? It just spins,” wrote one user on Fall detector.

“I can’t watch any live streams. I tried seven different ones and they just sat and spun in a little circle,” another shared.

More than 800 YouTube users reported problems with the platform in Fall detector.

The problems persisted for almost an hour.
