YouTube not working? Server status

Is YouTube down today? When the service backed up Google is not working, you can be sure server status problems will stretch between many platforms that include Smart TVs, PC and Mac, iPhone and iPad, Android devices, and a lot more.

If you are having problems with YouTube today on any of these platforms, then it’s worth leaving your issue or looking at reports below to find out if you’re not alone with common issues. When YouTube’s status is not clear there tends to be similar problems, which include log-in issues, errors when watching videos like freezing and crashing, ability to like or favorite videos, and of course a total website outage.

Thanks to the amount of platforms you can access the video streaming service on, make sure you leave exactly how you are trying to access YouTube when leaving you status update below.

And looking at the number of reports it appears to be something that happened this week as almost all of the reports of it not working this year so far have been made in the past week.
