YouTube is down for many users worldwide [Update: It’s back up]

August 11, 2017


You really might have to go back to work: YouTube appears to be experiencing server downtime across the board.

Numerous users have taken to Down Detector and Outage Report to report being unable to access the video service. It remains unclear what precisely is causing the issue, but Google has not yet confirmed any technical troubles on its status page.
The Down Detector heat map suggests the outage is most severely affecting users in Central Europe and the American East Coast – though there are also some reports from Russia and Japan.
The YouTube support team has not yet officially confirmed the sever downtime, but many users are tweeting that they are unable to access the service.
There are also some users reporting dealing with faulty user interface on YouTube. Judging by the diversity of languages – English, French and Portuguese among others – the issue is not limited to a single region.
