About YouTube

YouTube is the world's largest video platform, serving watch pages, Shorts, live streams, YouTube Music, and the Studio upload and analytics tools. Outages stop playback, break embedded players across the web, and block creators from uploading or going live. Track YouTube status and outages here.

Over the past 30 days, PulsAPI has measured YouTube uptime at 100.00%. Response times, incident history, and SLA tracking for YouTube are available on the PulsAPI dashboard.

YouTube Status FAQ

Is YouTube down right now?

PulsAPI checks YouTube every 60 seconds. YouTube publishes no status page, so the verdict at the top of this page comes from PulsAPI's own requests to YouTube's public endpoints and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if YouTube is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until YouTube recovers.

How do I check YouTube uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks YouTube uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for YouTube.

How fast does PulsAPI detect YouTube outages?

PulsAPI probes YouTube's own public endpoints every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. Because YouTube publishes no status page, there is no vendor announcement to wait for.

Can I get alerts when YouTube goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to YouTube. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever YouTube status changes.

How do I report an issue with YouTube to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot YouTube problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor YouTube?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor YouTube alongside up to 9 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
