What is 'readonly mode'?

At Mixlr we understand that a high level of uptime and reliability is important for our broadcasters.
​ 
For this reason we try very hard to avoid 'scheduled maintenance' or other planned outages. We do our best to keep Mixlr running 24/7, 365 days a year.
​ 
Sometimes however it is necessary to perform upgrades and other improvements on our infrastructure.
​ 
When we do this you may occasionally encounter readonly mode. When this mode is enabled you can still chat and listen to live events, just like normal.
​ 
However, although existing broadcasts will continue to be accessible, it will not be possible to start new live events during readonly mode, or to upload any new recordings.
​ 
Don't worry - this mode is usually short-lived. You can also keep an eye on X (@mixlr and @mixlrstatus) for more information.
