How to fix Synthesia not working
Synthesia 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:
Your browser tries to reach synthesia.io over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check Synthesia status page
Open the official status page and read the banner at the top. It counts problem reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so a spike means other people hit the same wall. If the banner is quiet, move on to your browser.
Reload the Studio tab
Close the Synthesia tab and open it again. Press Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, then load the video you were editing. A hard refresh can clear a stuck 'Generating video' or a spinning avatar scene; if the page still hangs, sign out and back in.
Try a private window
Use a private or incognito window. Log in to the app there, because extensions and cached files often break the script editor or stop the export button from responding. If the app works there, disable extensions one by one or clear your browser cache; if it does not, switch to a phone hotspot or turn off your VPN before you ask for help.
Open Synthesia help centre
Send the error text and the name of the video that failed. Include whether the problem happens on a different network and in a private window, because that tells support if the fault is local or account-side.

What happens when Synthesia goes down
Synthesia is an AI video platform for turning scripts into videos with avatars and voiceovers. L&D teams and marketers rely on it for training and product updates, so an outage interrupts video creation, editing, exports, and playback.
During an outage, sign-in tends to stall first. The video generation queue can hang too, so you may get stuck on a spinner after logging in or watch an avatar fail to load while a voiceover renders in silence. Saving changes and exporting a finished video can fail, and a shared link may time out for viewers. These problems are often partial: one workspace or one avatar breaks while another project still opens, though a broader failure can take down sign-in and playback for everyone.

How we track Synthesia
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Synthesia, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Synthesia, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Synthesia's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
