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.
YouTube (youtube.com) is a streaming service monitored continuously by rimetry from multiple global regions. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds to detect outages, latency spikes, and regional degradations the moment they happen.
Right now YouTube is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 44 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
- · 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.
