checked responded in 99msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, YouTube has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~87 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-07 21:34 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

YouTube is the largest video platform in the world, covering streaming, uploads, live broadcasting, and Shorts. Its scale means incidents are often partial and regional, so playback may fail only on certain devices or resolutions, or uploads process slowly while viewing is unaffected.

YouTube is also searched for as YT.

Is YouTube down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching YouTube normally right now, and it answered our last one in 99ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-12. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 39 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days YouTube reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if YouTube is down for just you

  • Force-close and reopen the app, then check for an available update.
  • Toggle Wi-Fi and mobile data — social apps fail over between them poorly.
  • Clear the app cache (or reinstall) if feeds won't load.
  • Check whether you're logged in on another device that may have signed you out.
