High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 confirmed that the Viu streaming app shows a geo-restriction message saying the service is not yet available in the user's country, and existing subscriptions from other countries fail when accessed from Syria. The block has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.
Investigated
Community report confirms Viu streaming app is blocked in Syria. The app displays a geo-restriction message in Arabic: "Sorry, this service is not available in your country yet." Existing subscriptions from other countries do not work when accessing from Syria. Tested via iPhone Safari.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Viu or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Viu Support:
No, Viu is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Viu directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
