As per the down detector, the first reports started coming in at around 4 PM PST. Though, Google has still not detailed the reason behind the outage. At the time of writing, over 9,000 reported cases from users having issues opening YouTube. An alike outage was reported on Gmail.

Google announced that it is working on the matter. Yet, the company has not been able to point out the issue and seems rather inactive in dealing with the matter. It looks like an exceptional failure of the system.

Nonetheless, thousands of people around the world working from home are being majorly affected as more than two billion users are presently locked out of their email inboxes, cloud storage, documents, and Watch Later playlists. The company faced a similar outage in August as well but it recovered rather quickly.
