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.
Update: After a brief outage, YouTube is now slowly coming back online.
