After popular video streaming platform YouTube witnessed a global service outage on Tuesday, its parent company Google acknowledged the issue before confirming that it has been resolved.
After YouTube service disruptions were experienced by users across countries, Google had initially clarified that its team was working to fix it. "An issue with our recommendations system prevented videos from appearing across surfaces on YouTube (including the homepage, the YouTube app, YouTube Music and YouTube Kids). The homepage is back, but we're still working on a full fix. We're also seeing a small number of reports that some people are unable to login to YouTube TV. This is related to the broader issue across YouTube, and we're also working on a fix here," the statement said.
The update regarding the issue being resolved was released later. It read," The issue with our recommendations system has been resolved and all of our platforms (YouTube.com, the YouTube app, YouTube Music, Kids, and TV) are back to normal! We really appreciate you bearing with us while we sorted this out."
There were over 19,000 complaints logged within minutes during the morning hours in India alone regarding YouTube services being hit, a report said. Meanwhile,over American 320,000 users reported outage, the report added.
