During the broadcast of the Romania - Ukraine Euro 2024 match, Megogo encountered technical problems caused by adverse weather conditions and increased system load due to a sharp increase in the number of users.
Broadcast failure
Causes of technical failure
Due to a strong thunderstorm and downpour in Kyiv, the broadcast was interrupted due to the loss of the signal from the main and backup satellites. This resulted in a black screen. Switching to the third satellite took about 40 seconds.
System overload
A spike in the number of users trying to reconnect to the broadcast , caused a system overload. This caused the content delivery subsystem to fail. It was possible to stabilize the work only at the end of the second half of the match, at approximately 17:50.
Uninterrupted broadcast on other channels
Despite the failure, the television signals provided by Megogo to the local channels of "Public Broadcasting" and the telethon "Edyni Novini" worked without interruption , as they did not depend on the content delivery network.
Megogo apologized for the temporary inconvenience and assured that it will take measures to prevent similar situations in the future.

That's the trouble with this failure of Megogo during the match Romania - Ukraine! Is it difficult to predict such a situation and have enough capacity for uninterrupted service? 😤
Михайло
Indeed, it was predictable. But think of the huge loads that come on their systems during such top events! Millions of views, and spare capacity, it seems, was lacking. 🤔
Еліза
Megogo claims that a severe thunderstorm and downpour in Kyiv caused signal loss from the primary and backup satellites. In my opinion, this is a completely logical explanation. 🌧️ Although it is worth having a more reliable backup system.
Ігор
I understand them, but to be honest, they should have been more prepared. I have heard that the TV signal has been working fine, so the problem is with their online system. It is necessary to improve its reliability.
Віктор
Hmm, these newfangled things always fail. It is better to stay at home and watch football on regular TV! 🤨 Why did you even sign up for this Megogo?
Ольга
Victor, don't be such a conservative! 😄 Online services are now very convenient and popular. Megogo has acknowledged the problem and promises to take steps to make things work perfectly next time.
Маркіян
Of course, Olga is right. Although there were some troubles, Megogo showed its commitment to the audience by providing broadcast on TV channels. And in the future, their online system will become even more powerful! 💪
Соломія
I agree that reliability is important. But at the same time, I am amazed how quickly they restored the broadcast, in just 40 seconds! 🙌 So Megogo is staffed by professionals.
