YouTube is suffering a serious outage – with thousands reporting issues with the Google-owned video service.

YouTube users have been confronted with error messages as they tried to login, upload or watch content on the hugely-popular video platform.

It appears that the popular video streaming site went offline at around 2.20am BST, with thousands unable to access content. Many are reporting seeing 'Error 500' when attempting to access content.

Social media sites have been flooded with complaints, with streams of YouTube users in the US and UK saying the Google-owned site was not working for them.

Independent website Down Detector, which measures social mentions around a certain topic to track outages across the globe, shows users reporting problems across the UK, Europe and the United States.

Enraged customers have flooded social media to complain about the problems.

Currently, the website is either not loading, or when it does, refusing to play any videos. Only showing an error message.

Clicking the learn more link simply takes users to the following info:

YouTube video streaming issues can be caused by many factors. By troubleshooting your internet or device connection, you may be able to play your videos again.

You may be experiencing a video streaming issue if you’ve seen one of these notifications
  • An error has occurred.
  • Playback error. Tap to retry.
  • Connection to server lost.
  • This video is unavailable.
  • Something went wrong. Tap to Retry.
Personally, given that no videos are working across the whole site, we're inclined to think something very bad went wrong, but on YouTube's end.

This has ruined my evening. Now I have no choice but to listen to music on bandcamp. This basically puts me on the same oppression level as a trigender white millennial with blue hair (i.e. no one is more oppressed).

Thank goodness I've saved enough material to get me through for years!

It wasn’t until I saw the same thing on another site that I realized that the weird thing saying to take a screenshot wasn’t what was supposed to be posted in a thread here.
 
Where were you during the YouTube crisis of 2018?

Jk this won’t be bad. If porntube/youporn we’re down tho it would be riots in the streets.

I wonder if Youtube are using this outage when nobody can see to wipe away certain videos and blame it on a server crash?

Must be trying to get rid of NPC memes like Twitter was

This must be Sargon's plan to save the west by triggering the libs. With how updates to Youtube have gone I expect some major feature of Youtube to be broken or missing when it's back up. Like having no home page and having Trending automatically be the front page of youtube.
