What should I do if SoundCloud is down?

Restart the SoundCloud app or refresh your browser tab — stalled streams often self-resolve Check your internet speed: streaming HD video needs at least 10 Mbps, 4K needs 25 Mbps Lower the video quality setting inside SoundCloud to reduce buffering

Can I get alerts when SoundCloud goes down?

Yes. Starter and Growth plans probe soundcloud.com every 60 seconds and send alerts via email, Telegram, or Discord — typically within 1–5 minutes of detection.

Where can I report a SoundCloud outage?

You can report SoundCloud issues on WebsiteDown — community reports help confirm whether outages are widespread.

Is SoundCloud slow right now?

SoundCloud responded in 166ms, which is within normal range. If it feels slow on your end, the issue may be your network or ISP.

Can I still watch downloaded content on SoundCloud?

If you previously downloaded shows or movies in the SoundCloud app, those should be available offline even during an outage. New streaming requires a working connection to soundcloud.com.

Does SoundCloud throttle streaming quality during outages?

During partial outages or degraded performance, SoundCloud may automatically reduce video quality. If you're seeing lower quality than expected, check the service status on this page.

SoundCloud answered our probe, but measures as unreachable from mainland China.

Volunteers running OONI on Chinese networks recorded 179 anomalous results in 203 tests (88%) between 2026-06-01 and 2026-08-29.

Our own probe runs from one region outside China, so it cannot see this. If you are in China and it will not load, the service is most likely fine and the network in between is not.
