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.

  • Chess of Confusion

    Ok of me, things started happening around about a week ago, when i randomly click on a video it would say an error occurred, please try later. (playback ID followed by some random letter’s. Then after a few seconds later the video then would start, I’ve gone to my channel and i’ve been signed out, i’ve uploaded a video today on 9 of June and it said error and something about the server and please try again later. I’ve click publish again and it’s then worked I don’t know what’s going on.

    When using YouTube Premium all that I can see when playing videos is ADS, which tells me premium is NOT blocking them on YouTube App using Android. The ADS are getting blocked on browsers but cannot use the play in the background feature.

    Youtube has never been down for me. Until yesterday it wouldn’t work. It came back up eventually but now it’s happening again. Something must be up with youtube. 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.
