You're going to have to be more specific about what the problem is. Is the "watch" option not available, does it not connect, does it connect but nothing is visible, etc.

It's not just you. A friend of mine often streams via Steam but it hasn't been working. If I try and request to watch I get an error that says

"Steam is experiencing high broadcast load and is currently unable to reserve a server spot to start the broadcast. Please try again in a few minutes."

Trying again never works though, it just keeps giving that same error. I imagine it's a generic error message as I highly doubt they're getting an overwhelming mass of people streaming between 2am and 5am.

Yes, same problem. And it happens all the time, in the morning, at night, in the early morning. Agree, It seems unlikely to me that people have exceeded the Steam capacity, very few people use it.

I'm having the same issue since Sunday.

Same for the past two weeks. Had it work once or twice but more than often it fails.

Same issue here :(

steam hates us! ((( It dosen't working Always! ((( Delete it from menu if u can't do it correctly! (((
