Youtube goes through problems and goes down for mobile and PC users
On Thursday night (14/05), YouTube experienced several instabilities and left navigation on the platform inaccessible to its users. Problems included the mobile app and the PC browser version.
According to data from the monitoring site Down Detector , shortly after 8 pm, there were already more than 4,300 notifications about user complaints. Of the total complaints, 51% referred to the site, while 32% reported general failure in the Google tool. Check it out below:
In the case of access via a cell phone, the regular platform showed the message “There was a problem with the server [429]” – the code would mean excessive requests. YouTube Studio prevented even the user’s login.
Through the website on the computer, the section that shows recommended videos, in high and other categories stopped uploading. Only the side menu and a message about the Covid-19 pandemic appeared.
At the end of the production of this text, YouTube already appeared to be normalized. It is worth remembering that the tool applied, this week, some changes in its interface for smartphones.
We contacted the advisory of Google’s video platform to understand what happened to the system to the point of causing instabilities. When this site gets positioning from the company, the text will be updated.
