Is YouTube down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached YouTube successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 583 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 553 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 481 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 517 ms |
Based on 3,228 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.
What can be affected on YouTube?
These are the main YouTube functions that can experience separate issues.
- WebsiteOpen the site in another browser to rule out a local cache issue
- Login & authenticationTest signing in from a private browser window or another device
- PlaybackTry a different title and a different device before assuming an outage
- SearchTry a simpler query — search can fail while the rest works
- Uploads & postingRetry the upload on Wi-Fi and with a smaller file
- Mobile appForce-close and reopen the app, then retry on mobile data
This list shows which parts can fail on their own. It does not mean any of them is failing right now — the live status above is the only claim we make about the current state.

About YouTube
YouTube is a video-sharing platform used for watching live streams, uploading content, and interacting with community posts. Significant disruptions often prevent video playback, cause the search bar to return empty results, or disrupt the delivery of advertisements and monetization features. Users may also find that comments do not load or that the mobile app fails to sync with their subscriptions. To determine if a problem is widespread, Rimetry observes the platform’s behavior from different global nodes and records any changes in overall connectivity or load times.
Problems with YouTube can affect website, login & authentication, playback independently.
YouTube (youtube.com) is a streaming service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now YouTube is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 315 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to youtube.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like YouTube include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is YouTube?
Video sharing and streaming.
YouTube is part of our Streaming category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Playback stalls or endless buffering
- · Error codes on start-up or when pressing play
- · Login loops and profile switching failures
- · Lower-than-usual video quality
Similar patterns often surface across other streaming providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Open the site in another browser to rule out a local cache issue
- · Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
- · Try a different title and a different device before assuming an outage
- · Try a simpler query — search can fail while the rest works
- · Stop playback, close the app completely, and reopen it
- · Try the same title in a browser to see whether it's app-specific
- · Switch networks (mobile data vs Wi‑Fi) — streaming is sensitive to ISP routing
- · Restart your TV, console or streaming stick, not just the app
- · Turn off a VPN or proxy: many catalogues block them and it looks like an outage
- · Check YouTube's official social channels
Not sure whether it's you or the service? Run a live speed test, check what your IP looks like from the edge, or watch for regional trouble on the worldwide outage map. For the wider picture, browse recent incidents or filter down to streaming.
