What should I do if Peacock is down for me?

Try a different title before assuming the service is down. A single video that will not start is usually a rights or encoding problem with that title, not an outage. Test the browser and the TV app separately. Living-room apps ship on their own release schedule and break independently of the website. Restart the streaming device rather than the app. Set-top boxes and smart TVs hold stale DNS and tokens for far longer than a phone does. Turn off any VPN. Streaming services actively block known VPN exit nodes, and the resulting error looks identical to an outage.

Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming service, mixing on-demand shows with live sport and news channels. Live events put a very different load on it from on-demand playback, and its incidents cluster around them.

Is Peacock down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Peacock normally right now, and it answered our last one in 22ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
