The chatbot assumes that predefined steps (such as watching a video and clicking “Continue”) have been completed, even when the content is not available. When the user reports that the video is not working, the chatbot ignores this input and continues giving the same pre-fed, scripted responses. This shows that the system lacks real-time input validation and relies too heavily on fixed conversational flows, without adapting to actual user issues.

Business Impact: Heavily damages brand authority. A health application selling scientifically backed therapy looks completely unmaintained if its core content is full of dead links.

Solution: Add a lightweight state listener to the video player container. If the YouTube API returns a playback failure error code (such as Error 100 or 150), catch the exception and automatically display a fallback option screen: "This session is temporarily unavailable. Try this highly rated alternative instead."
