Los Angeles • The Walt Disney Co. fumbled the rollout of its high-profile streaming service Tuesday, with thousands of subscribers across the United States logging on to find error messages instead of movies and television shows.
The problem, which Disney blamed on oversize demand, appeared to affect multiple platforms, with users on Twitter posting screenshots of error images on iPhones and complaining of issues on Android and Amazon Fire devices. More than 8,000 Disney Plus subscribers appeared to be affected by the outage around 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to DownDetector.com, which monitors online technical glitches.
