How do I check if SoundCloud is having issues?

This page checks SoundCloud availability in real time. You can also monitor SoundCloud continuously with Visual Sentinel, get instant alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp when SoundCloud goes down.

How can I get alerted when SoundCloud goes down?

Set up a free monitor for soundcloud.com on Visual Sentinel. You will get alerts within 60 seconds via your choice of 10 notification channels including email, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Telegram.

Where is the official SoundCloud status page?

The official SoundCloud status page is at https://status.soundcloud.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects SoundCloud issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

Why is my uploaded track stuck in "processing" on SoundCloud?

Uploads go through transcoding (generating multiple audio qualities) and waveform extraction. An incident in the processing pipeline leaves tracks stuck. Once the pipeline recovers, queued tracks typically finish processing without re-upload.

Do SoundCloud embed players on other sites break during outages?

Yes. Embed players load content through the SoundCloud API. A SoundCloud API or CDN outage shows broken players on every site that embeds SoundCloud tracks, affecting blogs, news sites and band websites.

about this service

About SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a music and audio streaming platform with a creator-first slant, popular for indie artists, DJ mixes, podcasts and remixes that never land on Spotify. The product breaks into listener playback, creator upload and processing, search, and the SoundCloud For Artists dashboard (analytics, monetisation). Outages often hit upload processing first, a track uploads but the waveform never generates or the track stays in "processing" indefinitely. Playback outages are typically CDN-related and affect specific regions. The API powers embed players on thousands of sites, so API incidents break music embeds far beyond soundcloud.com itself.

The official SoundCloud status page is at status.soundcloud.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
