Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Captions not working?

If you're asking 'is Captions down?', there are two main reasons Captions is not working for you. First, it could be a widespread Captions outage or scheduled maintenance. You can verify the current Captions server status by checking our charts. Second, the problem might be local (a bad internet connection or browser cache).

How do I know if Captions is down?

The best way to know if Captions is down is to check this page. Look at our 24-hour graph for a spike in reports, which indicates a confirmed Captions outage. You can also check our "Service Status History" log for official updates on the current Captions server status.

If Captions's website is down, does it mean the whole service is down?

Not always. A modern service has many parts (website, API, etc.). It's possible for Captions to have a partial Captions outage (like the API being down) while the main website still works. This can be confusing when you're asking 'is Captions down?' because part of the service is still operational.

What are the common reasons for a Captions outage?

A Captions outage can be caused by many issues: server overloads, database failures, or new software bugs. Sometimes, it's just scheduled maintenance. These are common reasons why Captions was down in the past. Our monitor tracks the Captions status regardless of the cause.

What to do when Captions is inaccessible or not working?

If Captions is not working or inaccessible, first confirm the Captions server status on this page. If we show a confirmed Captions outage, you just have to wait for them to fix it. If our page shows the service is "Up," the issue is likely on your end (see our troubleshooting guide).

How does this down detector check the Captions status?

Our system checks the Captions status by automatically "pinging" the Captions servers every minute. If our checks fail, our graphs will reflect a potential Captions outage. This is how we provide an instant, objective answer to the question "is Captions down?"
