How to fix Channel 4 not working

Channel 4 is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Channel 4.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
