Error Message "Unfortunately streaming is not permitted in this country".

Allocation Service Region:

Your Zattoo account is usually associated with your country of residence or the country in which you created the account.

Example: You have created your Zattoo account in Switzerland. This account is therefore assigned to the Service Region Switzerland. The same applies to an account created in Germany.

Please note: Outside these two countries, it is not possible to register an account or your Zattoo account will be assigned to a country, in which we do not provide our service.

The use of the service outside the country, which your Zattoo account is assigned to (your Service Region) is subject to your access rights, which are defined differently for Zattoo Germany and Switzerland. For a complete overview on this topic, please read the article Using Zattoo abroad.

If you receive the error message: "Unfortunately streaming is not permitted in this country. Apparently, you are outside your country’s borders." this can be due to different causes:

Zattoo FREE - only for usage within your country’s borders: 

You are using our Zattoo FREE service and are outside the country, in which you signed up your account. The use is only possible within your service region. If your account is incorrectly assigned, you can create a new account in the country you are currently in (Germany and Switzerland only) at any time with a different email. If you want to use the same e-mail address for this, first delete your account and then create the new account (delete account). Alternatively, contact our support for the technical conversion of the service region to the correct country. In order to help you as quickly as possible, make sure to provide us with the following information via our contact form:
