Key YouTube features and services experience worldwide outage

Update: According to a tweet from the official @TeamYouTube profile, the issue has been resolved.

The original piece follows below.

If you’ve been having trouble signing into YouTube or have noticed that some of the video-sharing site’s menus are missing, you’re not the only one experiencing those issues.

On Tuesday, users began reporting on Downdetector that they were having issues with using and accessing YouTube services. Issues include not being able to sign in, not being able to switch accounts, not being able to find navigation and settings menus (most notably the bar on the left-hand side), and even receiving a “No internet connection” error message while playing videos.

The official @TeamYouTube Twitter account tweeted a response saying that YouTube was aware of the issues and is working on a fix:

Getting reports from around the 🌎 that some of you are having trouble with certain features across YouTube services (e.g. logging in, switching accounts & using the navigation bar) – we’re aware & working on a fix.

Sharing updates as we have them here → https://t.co/wOtEBLiWAC

The tweet also included a link to a Google support update thread in which users can view updates on the situation, “including ETA on a fix.” The pinned post currently has over t3,00 upvotes.

At present, there is no known ETA for a fix and users are still reporting issues on Downdetector. We’ll update you when we know more.

The change means that soon, every channel will have a unique handle denoted by an "@" mark, "making it easier for fans to discover content and interact with creators they love," the Google-owned company said in a post announcing the change.

Google and TikTok aren't the only places people look for information on health issues. YouTube is another resource people look to for educating themselves on health-related topics. Now, YouTube has launched a new feature in an attempt to further support those queries in a different way.

On Wednesday, the video-sharing website announced its latest feature via a blog post. Known as a Personal Stories shelf, the new search-related feature will yield a "shelf" of personal story videos about the health topics users search for. Essentially, if you search for a health topic, a Personal Stories shelf may appear in your search results and it will be populated with YouTube videos that feature personal stories about people who have experienced the health issue you searched for.

The report, titled Does This Button Work? Investigating YouTube's Ineffective User Controls, comes after a months-long study of YouTube behavior by the Mozilla Foundation. They enlisted the help of 20,000 volunteer web users through an extension on Mozilla's Firefox browser, the RegretsReporter.
