Google suffers big global outage! YouTube, Gmail, most other services down

Google, YouTube, and most of Google services have suffered an outage. YouTube users said that could not access the website and watch videos. Similarly, Google users could not access their mail and other services such as Google Docs, GMaps, Google Analytics. Some users could not even log in.

The outage seemed to have started 10-15 minutes back. Downdetector tracks web outages have reported outage cases from across the world. Google’s own tracker for its services do not seem to be reflecting the outage.

Google is yet to comment on the outage. “We are aware that many of you are having issues accessing YouTube right now our team is aware and looking into it. We’ll update you here as soon as we have more news,” says YouTube.

“Oops…the system encountered a problem – retrying,” reads the message on Gmail, while YouTube shows a cartoon of a monkey with the caption “Something went wrong…”

Some users are unable to use Google’s search engine as well that seems to be reflecting a 400 error message. “The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried,” is the message on the screen.
