If Mixpeek Studio loads a blank page, hangs on sign-in, or “goes dead” a few seconds after opening on your corporate network, the cause is almost always a proxy, firewall, or content-security policy blocking outbound requests the app needs to make. Mixpeek’s own security policy already permits every domain below — the block is on the network side, so the fix is a network-side allowlist. This page is written for an IT administrator to action in one read.
The symptom: the browser loads studio.mixpeek.com, but calls to the API are silently dropped, so the app renders its shell and then does nothing — no data, no sign-in, no error. That is a blocked api.mixpeek.com, not a Mixpeek outage.

Minimum allowlist — the app loads and works

Allowlist these for outbound HTTPS (443) from the browser. This is the smallest set that makes Studio and the API fully functional:
Allowlisting only *.mixpeek.com is a common partial fix: the app then loads and signs in, but thumbnails, video, and file previews stay blank because media is served over signed *.amazonaws.com / *.googleapis.com URLs. Include the storage domains, or evaluators will conclude the product is broken when it is only blocked.

Scoped storage hosts for strict environments

If your policy does not permit whole-provider wildcards like *.amazonaws.com, replace the two storage entries above with these narrower hosts. They cover all media delivery and nothing else — no other AWS or Google service:
Two googleapis.com hosts are needed only if you sync from Google Drive (drive.googleapis.com and www.googleapis.com, for the connector’s OAuth scope). They are not required to view media — leave them out of a viewing-only evaluation. If you bring your own object storage, media resolves to your bucket host instead; allowlist that host.

Optional — enhances the experience, not required

The app is fully usable without these. Allowlist them to enable in-product analytics, support chat, and error reporting:

How to confirm it’s a network block (not Mixpeek)

Have the affected user, on the corporate network:
1

Open the browser developer console

In Studio, open DevTools (F12 or ⌘⌥I) → Console and Network tabs, then reload.
2

Look for blocked requests

Requests to api.mixpeek.com (or the domains above) showing blocked, net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT, a CSP violation, or a proxy error page — rather than a normal 200/4xx from Mixpeek — confirm the network is dropping them.
3

Compare off-network

The same account on a non-corporate network (or personal hotspot) loading normally is definitive: the account and the service are fine; the corporate network is the variable.
Fastest path for an evaluation: allowlist the Minimum table above and reload. If sign-in works but media is blank, you’re missing the two storage domains.

Still blocked?

If the domains are allowlisted and Studio still won’t load, contact support@mixpeek.com with the browser console’s Network tab (screenshot or HAR export) — the blocked request URLs tell us exactly which rule is still catching them.
