Hello, I have a problem. When I try to play videos in my permanent room, members report seeing the following message: “This Watch2Gether room does not exist (temporary rooms are deleted after 24 hours),” after which they are redirected to the application’s home screen. It’s worth noting that I am using the free plan, and the room is configured as permanent. What other reason could there be for this happening?
