YouTube is down worldwide with playback error

YouTube is currently facing a global outage, with users reporting playback errors on both the website and mobile apps.

When trying to watch videos, users see messages like “Playback error” or “Something went wrong,” while some say the site is slow or not loading at all.

The outage began within the last 30 minutes.

According to DownDetector, YouTube is experiencing issues across the U.S., Europe, India, Japan, Australia, and several other regions.

It is still unclear whether this is due to server problems, maintenance work, or a network-related issue.

This is a developing situation and will be updated as more information becomes available.
