Gmail and YouTube are down

December 14, 2020 indiatodaypost

YouTube, Gmail, and other Google services are experiencing an outage, according to reports from Downdetector.

When trying to access YouTube, the website returns a “Something went wrong…” web page, while trying to log in to Gmail returns a “temporary error 500” message.

“We’re sorry, but your account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes,” the web page states.

“You can view the G Suite Status Dashboard for the current status of the service.”

Despite these services experiencing an outage, the Google G Suite dashboard shows that all Google services are available.

Reports on social media seem to show that users around the world are affected by the outage.

This is also shown by the global outage heatmaps provided by Downdetector, which are based on user complaints.

Google has not yet provided an explanation for the downtime of these services.
