An event that took place on February 17th/18th, 2026, in which YouTube, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music went down for around half a million users. Around 350,000 users reported issues accessing YouTube from 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the 17th (1 a.m. on Wednesday 18th in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)), according to the unofficial, crowd-sourced site Downdetector. The most commonly reported problem was users saying they had issues using the YouTube app. Around 10 p.m. EST (17/2/2026) equivalent to 3 a.m UTC (18/2/2026), YouTube confirmed the “issue has been fixed” across its platforms. The event is named for the volume of users who the platform went down for.
