YouTube Is Down

[HughParry]

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:

Reddit is on fire :) https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1o7qj18/anyone_els...

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

[Perz1val]

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

[rolph]

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

[lelandbatey]

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

[SketchySeaBeast]

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.

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

Any outage is well deserved.

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

Here in the US, can confirm.

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

Here in Hong Kong, spot on.

[mijee2]

Sheesh the lost revenue.

[aaronrobinson]

Fine for me

[HughParry]

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

[recursion]

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

[tiborsaas]

Back up

[crowzz]

Ahhhhh so frustrating!
