When YouTube fails

YouTube has no official status page. Playback, uploads, comments or live streams can fail on their own while youtube.com loads, and Google posts known issues on the TeamYouTube account on X.

If YouTube is not working for you

  1. Open youtube.com on another network, such as mobile data. If it works there, the problem is your connection, your DNS or your VPN.
  2. Update or restart the app, then sign out and back in.
  3. Look for posts about an outage: YouTube has no status page; Google posts known issues on the TeamYouTube account on X.

Is another service down?

Questions about YouTube outages.

Is YouTube down right now?

The status at the top of this page comes from Hyperping checks of YouTube, run every minute and refreshed on the page every 60 seconds. Green means the latest checks succeeded; red means they are failing, confirmed from several regions.

How do you check YouTube?

We send an HTTP request to www.youtube.com every minute, in turn from Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore, and count a successful response as up. When a check fails, other regions check again before YouTube counts as down.

YouTube is up here but not working for me. Why?

An outage can be partial: one feature, one app, one country or one internet provider, and our checks see YouTube from data centers. Try another network such as mobile data, update or restart the app, and check the official status page for an incident on one feature.

Does YouTube have an official status page?

No. YouTube has no status page; Google posts known issues on the TeamYouTube account on X. Our checks are a way to see whether YouTube answers right now.

Can I get alerted when YouTube goes down?

Yes. Create a free Hyperping account and add www.youtube.com as a monitor: you are alerted by email, Slack or your other channels within a minute of a failure. The free plan includes 20 monitors, enough for your own site and the services it depends on.
