About Youtube

YouTube is an American video-sharing platform owned by Google. It was founded on February 14, 2005, is headquartered in San Bruno, and operates at youtube.com. The service runs on the web and on Android, and covers video on demand and social media.
YouTube is the world's largest video-sharing platform, and when it slows down or fails, millions of people feel it at once. Most problems are small and local: a stuck upload, a video that won't load, an app that freezes on launch. This page tracks reported issues across the website and mobile apps so you can tell the difference between a widespread disruption and something on your own device.

Questions

Is Youtube down right now?

According to reports on this page, Youtube looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

The last mass outage ran from Oct 16, 2025 12:40 AM to Oct 16, 2025 1:22 AM (42 minutes).

Videos keep buffering, but the rest of the internet works. What should I check?

Start with your own connection. Run a quick speed test, then try another video or another network such as mobile data. Close extra tabs and apps that may be using bandwidth. If the problem only happens on one device, an app update or restart often clears it.

My upload has been stuck at a percentage for a long time. What can I do?

Check that your connection is stable first, since uploads fail easily on weak Wi-Fi. Try a smaller test file or a different browser or app. If other uploads work fine and the issue persists, it may be a temporary problem on the service side, so wait a bit and try again.

I watch such apps as YouTube, Prime and Tubi on my TV, but I can't get any of them this evening (Wed., 7/31/25 EST). I also "cut the cord" several months ago, so I get such apps via an internet modem. I am in NE Pennsylvania where we've had downpours during the day.

Vic - a year ago - Jul 31, 2025 11:16 PM
YouTube does not stay open — just says network error on a Samsung TV. However on a Roku TV using the same FIOS line YouTube works normal. Powering off TV and router does not correct problem.
D-rock - a year ago - Jul 31, 2025 10:44 PM
YouTube app on Samsung series 7 TV crashes to black screen when trying to launch. Have attempted 'reinstall' from app settings on the TV, but issue persists. In app settings 'detail' for YouTube says "server is under maintenance".

Really hoping YouTube is still supported on this TV! It's about all I use on my smart TV 😪
