Are you currently YouTube down? Then you are not alone, for a few minutes the platform has apparently been struggling with disruptions. The video player is sometimes not displayed or videos do not load. The search for content also seems to be disrupted at the moment.
The latter major YouTube glitch was a few months ago. Now it's that time again: The platform is currently not really accessible for some users. All devices are affected, from smartphones (Android and iOS) to browsers. Numerous users report on DownDetector from Problemen, also on Twitter are under the hashtag #YouTubeDown reading numerous messages with malfunctions.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do at the moment but wait and see. It currently seems to mainly affect users from Germany, other European countries and the USA, in Austria the platform is currently working proflawless.
Update at 00:31 pm: YouTube users from the USA seem particularly affected, where it still continues Proshould give problems.
Update at 00:14 pm: For some users it seems to be working again.
