<![CDATA[hold up, i think i figured out how to fix ''this feature is unavailable'']]>if you go into screenshots (at least on my switch) you can access facebook right? boot up face book, exit out and try again to pull up the dns, i literally just tried it again and it worked, try this next time you get this error please so we can see if this is a fix for it. does anyone wanna volunteer to try this next time it happens and post to see if it works?

&gt; @VGMoose thanks

so you changed your dns after the Facebook method and then what did you do next to access videos

Switch 2 has no Facebook applet, so I didn't get to try that yet. Either way, this isn't common knowledge, so we'll update the landing page to display some info about this workaround. It's often mentioned as an issue on the feedback form.

Thanks @Yanderemenhera and @_Izzy_! And to @KiwiFarmsArkavel / others reading this thread, let me know if these workarounds work for you as well next time the error comes up.

@VGMoose for the nintendo news vid the first time you start the vid the 'this feature is unavailable' thing will show up, then you have to leave the vid, wait like 10 full seconds, try to watch it again, and when the vid loads the browser will work
i actually JUST had the issue before logging on lol

yeah I think you and yanderemenhera will work together quite well just to try and find a workaround to this feature is not availiable

@VGMoose said in hold up, i think i figured out how to fix ''this feature is unavailable'':

So it sounds like:

  1. Set DNS to automatic, or to Google DNS (8.8.8.8)
  2. Watch a video in the News app, or open Facebook via the Album share applet
  3. Set the DNS back to one of the BrowseDNS addresses

I haven't had the issue in a while, any ideas on what causes the problem in the first place? Eg. not being docked or being offline for too long?

genuinely no clue, but this seems to fix it

use the scientific theory and experiment with your hypothesis

for me when i watch a vid the first time it will still say the feature is unavailable, then i wait like 10 secs and try to watch it again and the vid will work, and then you will be able to use the browser (you dont need to actually watch the video, the vid playing just means the browser will work again now)

Big if true! That sounds very promising, and I'll recommend it to others / try it if it happens to me. If it continues to work, we can add a notice to the BDNS landing page as well.

including detailed instructions on how to do it (with pictures)
