About YouTube

YouTube is the largest video platform in the world and India is its biggest market by user count, with hundreds of millions of viewers. It is owned by Google.

It is really several things at once, entertainment, education, news, music and livestreams, and for a huge number of Indians it is also where they learn skills or follow a language they cannot find elsewhere. Shorts compete directly with the short video apps, and a large creator economy runs on its ad revenue.

Evenings carry the most watch time, and big live events push it far higher.

If YouTube isn't working

Lower the quality and check your connection Buffering is often your network. Drop the video or audio quality and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Restart the app or try another device Close and reopen YouTube, or try it on the web, TV or another device, since one often works when another fails.
Sign out and back in For login or subscription glitches, sign out and back in, and check that your plan is active.
Update the app or clear its cache An outdated YouTube app can misbehave. Update it, or clear its cache and reopen.
Check the live status above If many people across India are reporting YouTube right now, it is a wider problem and not just you.

Other ways to access YouTube

Try the website instead of the app, or vice versa The YouTube website and app are separate routes, so if one is failing the other often works.
Cast or use another device If the phone app fails, a TV app, casting or another device can still play YouTube.
Play your downloads offline Anything you have already downloaded keeps playing offline while the service is down.
Help for account or billing issues For login, subscription or billing help, use the official YouTube help centre listed on the YouTube helpline page.

Questions

Check the live status and report map above. If reports are spiking across India, it is a wider YouTube problem. It is a global service, so a real outage usually affects users everywhere at once.

Playback failing is often on the service's side, but buffering is frequently your own connection. Try a lower quality, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and reload before assuming an outage.

Login and subscription checks need a live connection to the service. Sign out and back in, check your plan, and if many people are reporting it here, it is a wider issue rather than your account.

If reports are spiking across India here, it is down for everyone. If not, restart the app, switch networks, and try another device, since playback problems are often local.

Pehle upar live status dekhein. Buffering aksar aapke connection ki wajah se hota hai, to quality kam karein aur Wi-Fi ya mobile data switch karein. Agar bahut log report kar rahe hain to outage hai.

Yes. Tap the Download button on the live status card at the top of this page to save the YouTube server down image. The screenshot shows YouTube's current status, the last checked time and how many users across India are reporting problems right now. So when YouTube is actually down you get a real service down screenshot, not a mock-up. Save the service down image to keep it or send it to someone.

We run an on-demand server check from our side and combine it with real user reports across India. Reports are the main signal, because YouTube can respond to our check while it is still failing for many users. So if reports are spiking here, it is a real problem even if the site loads for us.
