GameStop's annual shareholder meeting was disrupted by computer problems on Thursday, as servers crashed due to overwhelming interest in the stream, a customer service representative for the company hosting the stream told CNBC.

The meeting, scheduled to start at 11 a.m. ET, was hosted on ComputerShare. However, when people tried to access the event, many received error messages stating that the page couldn’t load, according to posts on social media site X and CNBC’s own attempts to access the event.

According to a YouTube stream from an unaffiliated user claiming to reproduce the feed, the annual meeting was brought to order at 11:48 a.m. ET and was “immediately adjourned ... due to technical difficulties that have prevented stockholders from accessing the meeting.” GameStop said it would provide an update “as soon as possible” regarding when the event would be rescheduled, according to that feed.

GameStop couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

When reached by phone, a customer service representative for ComputerShare told CNBC that they were experiencing a “mass amount” of issues from people trying to access the meeting.

The representative said ComputerShare’s servers seemed unable to handle the amount of traffic the meeting had received and weren’t accustomed to the volume of accounts. They added that ComputerShare’s tech team was working to resolve the issue and advised interested parties to attempt to log in “every 5 to 10 minutes.”
