Around 7 AM (Hanoi time), the world's largest video sharing app became inaccessible, displaying a connection loss message. The issue was widespread, affecting all user accounts and regions. Currently, the platform has resolved the problem for a small number of mobile users. The issue persists on the website.

On the DownDetector outage reporting platform, approximately 390,000 issues were reported to YouTube in just one hour. The number continues to increase every minute as the problem persists and remains unresolved. Simultaneously, the start of morning business hours in many Asian countries is causing significant inconvenience and disruption to access for many users.

Over 300,000 reports of YouTube being down were received on the morning of October 16th.

According to Ookla's platform, 56% of users reported experiencing issues with video playback. The app and website were the rest. Similarly, YouTube Music and YouTube TV also froze during the same period. According to Down Detector data, many other platforms experienced problems similar to YouTube, but with significantly fewer error reports on the morning of October 16th. A global cloud issue causing this disruption cannot be ruled out.

YouTube and Google have yet to release an official statement regarding this widespread outage.
