YouTube Down: YouTube users across the globe, including in the United States and India, experienced major disruptions on the platform due to a temporary outage. Both the desktop site and the mobile app showed black screens for many users, with videos failing to load despite active internet connections.

The issue seemed to affect core functionalities—homepage content wasn't rendering properly, and even when the site did load, videos were either unplayable or stuck in buffering.

According to Downdetector, a real-time outage tracking service, the disruption peaked around 12:15 IST. The platform saw over 5,000 reports from the US and more than 700 from India. About 79% of complaints were related to website issues, 18% to video playback problems, and only 3% involved the mobile app.

As of the time of reporting, YouTube had not issued any official statement acknowledging the issue, nor had it provided any explanation for the cause of the outage. The disruption left thousands of users unable to access their favorite videos, including music, vlogs, movies, and other content, making it one of the more noticeable global glitches in recent months.

Interestingly, while the YouTube interface was technically accessible via both web and mobile platforms, it was extremely slow to load, and users encountered repeated buffering and playback delays.

The lack of clarity around when the platform would be fully restored only added to the frustration.

Following the outage, social media sites—particularly X (formerly Twitter)—lit up with posts from users around the world. Many confirmed they were facing the same issues, while others responded with humor, sharing memes and sarcastic takes directed at YouTube, Google, and the situation in general.
