YouTube experienced a widespread outage on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning, affecting thousands of users across the globe. According to checks conducted by Investing.com, the popular video streaming platform temporarily failed to display content on both its website and mobile app, leaving users unable to access videos from the homepage.
A Google spokesperson confirmed that the disruption was caused by a technical issue within YouTube’s recommendations system. The malfunction prevented videos from appearing on the homepage, instead showing an error message that read, “Something went wrong.” The company stated that the homepage issue has since been resolved and that engineers are continuing to work on a complete fix to prevent further problems.
At the height of the disruption, outage tracking platform Downdetector recorded more than 240,000 user reports within a single hour, highlighting the scale of the YouTube outage. Frustrated users quickly turned to social media platforms such as Reddit and X, where many shared screenshots and discussed the unexpected downtime.
The outage raised concerns among content creators, advertisers, and viewers who rely on YouTube for entertainment, news, and business operations. As one of the world’s largest video-sharing platforms, any interruption in service can significantly impact user engagement and digital advertising performance.
By 21:44 ET (02:44 GMT), Investing.com confirmed that YouTube had regained full functionality, with videos once again appearing normally across devices. While services appear to have stabilized, Google continues to monitor the situation to ensure a complete resolution.
This latest YouTube disruption underscores the platform’s reliance on complex recommendation algorithms and the widespread impact technical issues can have on global users within minutes.
