YouTube Is Down

37•HughParry•2h 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.

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

SketchySeaBeast•2h 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

omygodhh what happenin? the ufos are here?

rozab•2h ago

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

Perz1val•2h ago

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

rolph•1h ago

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

Any outage is well deserved.

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

eek2121•2h ago

Here in the US, can confirm.

stevefan1999•2h ago

Here in Hong Kong, spot on.

Sheesh the lost revenue.
