    Videos uploaded from the 3rd of June are not impacted, and our service is fully operational for them. Videos uploaded prior to June 3 may experience degraded service. We are working on it and preparing to migrate them to our new data storage.

  12. resolved Jun 21, 2021, 02:58 PM UTC

    Majority of videos are now migrated to our new cluster and the platform is operating well. We will continue the migration of remaining videos in the coming days but degraded ones should be a minority. If you experience any issue don't hesitate to reach us though normal support request
