YouTube looks to be facing an outage, as down reports spike and the website looks to be operational for some users.
On June 6, 2025, reports began flooding in on DownDetector that the YouTube website was having issues. The issue looks to have started at 1 pm ET, with reports coming in from across the US.
On some devices, the website seems to be down, with no video previews loading. For some, the website loads, and videos will play, but are slow. YouTube’s Android app seems to be unaffected.
Regular refreshes seem to be ineffective, and the YouTube outage looks to be a larger issue on Google’s end. The outage seems to be partial, if at all. Still, over 5,000 outage reports have surfaced, and some have noted the outage on social media.
This comes as YouTube has taken further action against users actively using ad blockers. Reports on social media have noted that more warnings are appearing on the video site, letting users know that ad blockers violate YouTube’s terms of service.
The outage doesn’t appear to have any correlation with the surge in warnings.
YouTube has made no official comment on the outage, and there doesn’t seem to be any immediate remedy.
