YouTube fully restores its services after a 2.5-hour outage on February 17, which started at around 7:45pm ET and was caused by a recommendations system issue

If you're trying to access YouTube right now and running into problems, you're not alone, as a widespread outage appears to be affecting YouTube and, to a lesser extent, YouTube TV.

    Update: 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 - more coming soon!
