YouTube experienced a major outage on Wednesday

Google’s streaming service YouTube experienced a major outage on Wednesday morning as users complained that they were unable to access the website. YouTube did not explain what caused the outage.

Earlier, when users tried to access YouTube.com, they were greeted with a blank page that showed no videos. On the app, an error message read, “There was a problem with the network [503].”

YouTube acknowledged the outage on Twitter and said it was working to fix the problem.

Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues. We're working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated.

More than an hour later, the company tweeted :

We're back! Thanks for all of your patience. If you continue to experience issues, please let us know. https://t.co/NVU5GP7Sy6

It is unusual for Google services to experience downtime but YouTube has experienced some problems in the past.
