YouTube Is Down

38•HughParry•3mo ago

More interesting than YouTube being down is the fact that YouTube doesn’t appear to have an official status page that is exposed externally.

Reported by 3rd party sites for reference:

Fine for me

Most services appear to work, aside from actual video streaming for me

YouTube music is 95% broken for me too. UK.

I thought so, guess I’ll have to wait patiently to see “cat needs help with wheel” for the 467th time.

lelandbatey•3mo ago

Agreed, seems like the actual video serving is totally down.

SketchySeaBeast•3mo ago

Not totally, I'll catch an occasional video - I'm watching one right now - but then I'll switch and it'll die again. Can't use Youtube music either for the same reason.

The outage did make me realise I’d be happier watching episodes of House instead

crowzz•3mo ago

Ahhhhh so frustrating!

lofaszvanitt•3mo ago

omygodhh what happenin? the ufos are here?

rozab•3mo ago

Wonder if this is related to the (dreadful) redesign that's rolling out today?

Perz1val•3mo ago

I wonder how they managed to kill it worldwide all at once, is there just one streaming server?

rolph•3mo ago

just flinging a wild guess, certificate expiry seems plausible, weve seen it many times before with other sites.

megous•3mo ago

Any outage is well deserved.

Playback fails once/twice, but eventually runs for me.

eek2121•3mo ago

Here in the US, can confirm.

stevefan1999•3mo ago

Here in Hong Kong, spot on.

mijee2•3mo ago

Sheesh the lost revenue.
