YouTube not working? Common problems and fixes
What usually helps when YouTube fails for you while it works for others.
Check youtube.com from our serverGuides
Videos won’t play or keep buffering
Lower the quality, restart the app or the router, and try another network. If every other site is fast, clear the YouTube app’s cache.
“Something went wrong. Tap to retry”
Update the YouTube app and restart the device. In a browser, sign out and in again, or try a private window.
Uploads stuck at “Processing”
Large and long videos take a while, and HD versions come after the first one. Hours without progress usually means a problem on YouTube’s side.
Playback stops with an ad blocker warning
YouTube blocks playback when it detects some ad blockers. Allow YouTube in the blocker or sign in to a YouTube Premium account.

About YouTube outages
Is YouTube down right now?
No, YouTube is not down right now: youtube.com answered our check at 23:20 UTC.
When was YouTube last down?
Our checks haven’t found YouTube down since we started checking it on 16 Oct 2026.
How often does YouTube go down?
Since we started checking YouTube on 16 Oct 2026, our checks every 2 minutes have not found YouTube down.
How does Uptimecheck check YouTube?
We request https://www.youtube.com/ every 2 minutes from Stockholm, New York and London. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it.
What can I do when YouTube is down?
Check YouTube’s official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If youtube.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on YouTube, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
Why is YouTube not working for me when it is up?
Our check shows that youtube.com answers. Your own network, a VPN, browser extensions, an outdated app or a problem with your account can still break YouTube for you alone. The common problems on this page list what usually helps, and when many people report the same problem, it shows here.
Can I get an alert when YouTube goes down?
YouTube has no status page we can read, so bookmark this page. For your own websites and APIs, Uptimecheck checks as often as every minute and alerts you by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, push or webhook.
