YouTube not working for you?

If we show YouTube as up but it won't load for you, try these steps:

  1. Lower the playback quality, or pause for a minute so the video can buffer.
  2. Close other apps and devices that are using your bandwidth.
  3. Sign out and back in. If the app fails, try the website, or the other way round.
  4. On a smart TV or streaming stick, restart the device and check for app updates.

Why is YouTube not working for me?

If YouTube is up for us but not for you, the cause is usually local: an outdated browser cache, a DNS problem, your internet connection, a VPN or ad blocker, or an out-of-date app. Work through the steps under "YouTube not working for you?" above.

How do you check if YouTube is down?

Our server requests https://www.youtube.com/ every 2 minutes from outside your network. If YouTube answers at all, even with a redirect or a sign-in page, we count it as up. Timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures and 5xx server errors count as down. Press "Check now" to run a live test at any time.
