Is YouTube Down?

This page shows the real-time status of YouTube based on automated monitoring by Qodex. The status badge at the top of the page updates every 60 seconds. If YouTube is experiencing issues, you will see a "Down" or "Degraded" indicator along with details about when the problem was first detected.

There are several reasons YouTube might not be working for you: (1) YouTube could be experiencing a server-side outage affecting all users; (2) your internet connection may be down or unstable; (3) your DNS cache may be stale; (4) a regional network issue could be affecting your connection to YouTube's servers; or (5) YouTube may be performing scheduled maintenance. Check the uptime chart above to see if our monitors are also detecting issues.

Most YouTube outages are resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Major outages affecting all users are typically addressed as a top priority by YouTube's engineering team. Minor or regional outages may take longer to resolve. You can monitor the situation in real time on this page, which updates automatically.

You can report issues with YouTube through their official status page or support channels at https://youtube.com. You can also check social media platforms like Twitter/X for reports from other users. This Qodex monitoring page provides an independent, automated check of YouTube's availability.

If this page shows YouTube as "Operational" but you cannot access it, the issue is likely on your end. Try these steps: clear your browser cache, try a different browser or device, restart your router, try using a VPN, or check if your ISP is experiencing issues. If our monitors also show problems, it is a widespread issue.

You can set up free uptime monitoring alerts with Qodex. Sign up at qodex.ai and configure a monitor for YouTube (or any website). You will receive instant notifications via email, Slack, or webhook whenever YouTube goes down or comes back up.
