Paramount+ faced technical difficulties during the Super Bowl LVIII live coverage, with crashes, lags, frozen screens, and audio problems reported by numerous viewers. The streaming service struggled to handle the high viewer traffic, leading to frustration among customers and causing some to switch to alternative platforms like YouTube TV.

Two minutes left and the Paramount+ Super Bowl feed goes dead. Click on it again and it starts Face the Nation. Good work, @paramountplus. Switched to YouTube TV.
The lag on Paramount+ (wired internet provided to the media here at the Super Bowl) is a minute, 8 seconds. YouTubeTV is about the same. Last year on the Fox Sports app (which requires a cable/satellite/cable-alternative like YTTV subscription) there was almost no lag.
Biggest takeaway from the Super Bowl so far is there's so much quality programming on CBS and Paramount+. And only $5.99 a month? A steal! https://t.co/1xcsvwclg4
Is it just me or did Paramount+ switch to local news instead of the super bowl? 🫠 What an epic fail 💀
