There may come a time when you are unable to access the SnapStream web interface for any number of reasons. It is important to keep a cool head and approach the situation logically using a process of elimination troubleshooting when facing this potentially dire situation.

1) Ask yourself what aspect of “SnapStream” are you trying to reach? 

• I have a Cloud Server (My URL has "cloud.snapstream.com" within it)

1. Check the URL you are trying to reach is it correctly typed and formatted?
2. Check to see if you can reach other internet or local resources
1. Point your browser to snapstream.com. Can you reach it?
2. Point your browser to another server or gateway on the local network. Can you reach it?
3. Try to use another computer on a different network segment or a mobile on a 4G/LTE network
4. Attempt to ping the server with cmd or terminal
1. Windows: (Start -> Run -> cmd -> ping server###.cloud.snapstream.com)
2. MacOS[x]: ( Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal -> ping SnapStream###.domain)
5. Check for any known outages with our provider: https://status.aws.amazon.com
6. There is a high probability that the server is UP as we use highly available and fault-tolerant Web Services that guarantee a high uptime in their service level agreement so eliminate all local interference first.
