YouTube was offline because 2020 is not over seven weeks – it’s back now
Updating: YouTube is back online after going offline for over an hour on Wednesday nights during prime time viewing hours in the US. We’ve updated our news post to reflect that YouTube is back up and running.
YouTube was offline for more than an hour on Wednesday, making the videos inaccessible. You could access the YouTube website, but all the videos seemed blocked with an error message: ‘An error has occurred. Try again later. ‘
It didn’t come for an hour later. At 7:23 p.m. ET, more than an hour ago, TeamYouTube’s official Twitter account confirmed the bad news for YouTube views, but suggested Alphabet’s video streaming platform is working on a fix. At 8:38 p.m. ET, YouTube was back online.
If you’re currently having trouble watching videos on YouTube, you’re not alone – our team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. We’ll follow any updates here.November 12, 2020
YouTube wasn’t the only Google service that was down due to this outage. We also had problems watching YouTube TV, which was even more problematic as many paying subscribers were unable to access US television shows during prime time hours.
We will update this news post as YouTube clears up the issue.
