About BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer, also known as iPlayer, is a video on demand service developed and owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). It launched in 2007 and is available through its website at bbc.co.uk/iplayer. The service runs on iOS and Android platforms.
BBC iPlayer is the BBC's video on demand service, letting viewers stream programmes over the internet. When something goes wrong, it is usually playback stopping mid-stream, the app freezing or refusing to open, trouble signing in, or slow loading on the website. This page tracks reported problems in real time, so you can see whether others are affected before you start troubleshooting your own setup.
BBC iPlayer is the BBC's on demand streaming service, available as an app on phones, smart TVs and consoles, and through the website. It carries live channels alongside catch-up and box sets for BBC programmes. The issues people report most often are video that buffers or drops to a lower quality, apps that freeze on the loading screen, updates that fail to install, and sign-in errors. Server connection problems also come up, usually showing as content that will not start at all. Before reporting a fault, check a few things on your side. Confirm your internet connection is stable, close and reopen the app, and look for a pending update in your app store. Clearing the app's cache or restarting your device resolves many playback problems. If you use the website, a different browser can help rule out extensions or cached data.
