To avoid being locked out of video streams, personalization or other site features, people should enable cookies or use their device browser rather than in-app viewers.
Why Cookies Matter For Live Streams And Site Features
Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalization.

In some cases, a browser or app can make requests without previously set cookies, which can further disrupt access to content.
West Tigers Viewing: Facebook App And The In-App Browser Issue
There is a specific issue with the Facebook in-app browser intermittently making requests to websites without cookies that had previously been set. This appears to be a defect in the browser which should be addressed soon. The simplest approach to avoid this problem is to continue to use the Facebook app but not use the in-app browser.
To open links in your device’s default browser instead of the in-app viewer: open the settings menu by clicking the hamburger menu in the top right, choose App Settings from the menu, and turn on the option “Links Open Externally. ” This will force links to open in the device’s normal browser where cookies are handled in the usual way.
