Whiteboard stuck infinitely loading - unusable

I was working on a whiteboard on one computer earlier, and tried to open it on another computer. It just shows a "trying to connect" and "reconnecting..." message, but nothing ever happens. This also happens for the whiteboard template that comes with world anvil, so it's not isolated to one whiteboard. I have tried restarting my computer, clearing my caches, hard resetting the page.

Steps to Reproduce

Open any whiteboard - it won't load

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

Update: This is not computer specific Whiteboards don't work on the original computer I used either.

Looks to not be working on Edge either. Opened Console and receiving a string of repeated messages. Looks like it's CORS blocking communication to the server. Preflights are blocked, with: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on requested resource. Hope this helps.

My whiteboards also aren't working. Using Google Chrome, and not isolated to one whiteboard.

I also am having trouble, as I'm unable to open my only whiteboard. Using Google Chrome

Hi all, today my Whiteboards are working! I didn't do anything, so maybe yours are working too. Thanks to the fixer!

Hi! The bug doesn't seem fixed (not for me at least).
