As of Wednesday afternoon (PT), most users cannot watch YouTube videos, with various playback errors popping up.
Update: As of 5:30 p.m. PT, this issue has been resolved.
On youtube.com, we’re seeing “An error occurred. Please try again later” on every video. Similarly, the YouTube apps on Android and iOS show a “Something went wrong” message. You can browse YouTube (including channel pages and search), but nothing plays upon selecting a video.
In addition to the main service, we’re also having issues with YouTube Music where streaming fails. Offline downloads continue to play. We’re encountering these problems in the US and Europe.
We’re not seeing any issues with YouTube TV (in the US). No other Google services (Workspace or Cloud) are currently impacted.
