Did you have issues trying to watch a YouTube video earlier this evening? You weren’t alone. At 7:23 pm ET on Wednesday evening, YouTube disseminated a tweet that said, “If you’re having trouble watching videos on YouTube right now, you’re not alone – our team is aware of the issue and working on a fix. We’ll follow up here with any updates.” For hours, those expecting to watch some content from Google’s streaming video app and YouTube TV were unable to do so.
Approximately 280,000 YouTube viewers complained to Down detector about issues with the site and the app
Nearly two hours after the first tweet conformed that there was a problem, YouTube posted a new tweet announcing that service had been restored. “…And we’re back – we’re so sorry for the interruption. This is fixed across all devices & YouTube services, thanks for being patient with us,” said the post.
