If you had been trying to get on to www.youtube.com, don't be surprised if you see the message shown in the website down detector prompt (shown in the image above). It seems that YouTube has been having a little difficulty today with some users unable to access the website. Some users complained about not having to play videos but can go inside the YouTube webpage.
The extent of the problem that users are now confronted with YouTube has not been determined yet. Random tests were conducted by different users saying that some of them can log in the site but are unable to play videos as error would occur while others cannot load the homepage. This was according to TheNextWeb report. Meanwhile, there had been a lot of tweets on social media platform Twitter showing disappointments from users. DownDetector has also reported on the problems encountered by YouTube.
Downtime for major services like YouTube would generally get back on track within a short period of time. Google has not yet released a statement regarding the downtime of the social media video platform site, reported TheNextWeb.
