Question 1

Is YouTube down right now?

Accepted Answer

No — YouTube is not down. All YouTube systems are reported operational. Checked at 2026-09-23T17:24:07.935Z.

Question 2

What is YouTube's status right now?

Accepted Answer

YouTube is reporting "All Systems Operational" on its official status page — Operational — as of 2026-09-23T17:24:07.935Z. That status feed answered isuptime's last check in 3938 ms. isuptime reads this from YouTube's own published feed and does not test YouTube independently.

Question 3

What is YouTube's uptime?

Accepted Answer

isuptime does not measure YouTube's uptime directly — it reads YouTube's own published status feed. Over the last 30 days, YouTube's own status feed reported no outage in 100.00% of isuptime's checks. Periods the provider called degraded count as no-outage, and this is isuptime's own measurement, not a contractual SLA.

Question 4

Is it just me, or is YouTube down for everyone?

Accepted Answer

YouTube reports all systems operational, so the problem is likely local to your network, browser or account. Try a different network or device.

Question 5

YouTube says operational but it is not working for me — why?

Accepted Answer

Playback problems are usually local — try a different network, disable extensions, or lower the quality. ISP-level throttling of video traffic is common and invisible to any status page. A video that will not play for you specifically may be age-restricted, region-blocked or removed. Upload failures are more often the file or your connection than the platform.

Question 6

What does YouTube's status page actually cover?

Accepted Answer

YouTube does not run a conventional status page. Google publishes a shared incident feed for its consumer and workspace products, and isuptime filters it to incidents that name YouTube specifically. That means coverage is genuinely thinner than for a Statuspage-based service: only incidents large enough for Google to post publicly appear at all, and regional slowdowns generally do not.

Question 7

What can I use instead of YouTube while it is down?

Accepted Answer

Twitch (operational). Each state was read from that provider's own status feed at 2026-09-23T17:24:07.935Z, in the same round as YouTube's, so the readings are comparable in time. Check the substitute is up before moving work to it.

Question 8

Is anything else down right now, or is it just YouTube?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026-09-23T17:24:07.935Z, 9 other services isuptime tracks were also reporting a problem: Cloudflare (Minor Service Outage); Twilio (Partially Degraded Service); Supabase (Partially Degraded Service); Elastic (Partial System Outage); Cursor (Partially Degraded Service); Scaleway (Partially Degraded Service); Snowflake (Partially Degraded Service); Salesforce (Degraded Performance: 1 active incident); PlayStation Network (PlayStation Store affected in Russia). All are checked on one schedule, so the timing is directly comparable — but overlapping in time does not establish a shared cause.
