  YouTube is the largest online video platform in the world with more than 1.5 billion logged-in visitors each month. Around 400 hours of content are uploaded every minute, and over a billion hours of videos are watched per day. So, what do you do when you discover YouTube not working?

Google does a great job of keeping YouTube up and running, but there have been occasional times when the service goes down. Unfortunately, Google’s App Status dashboard does not include YouTube, so it can be difficult to determine if it’s just you. We generally recommend going straight to the horse’s mouth – at least on Twitter. The official Twitter account for @TeamYouTube will generally advise of issues that are occurring.

Failing that, there’s always our favorite standby: downforeveryoneorjustme.com/youtube.com. That will only report if the actual website is down. So if the website is up, but videos won’t play, you’ll get mixed results from this site.
