People around the world are panicking as the video-sharing website YouTube has crashed.
Videos are not playing on the website and are showing an error message asking people to return later.
YouTube announced on Twitter it is aware of the issues and working to resolve them, sharing a post that reads, “Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues. We’re working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated.”
People have already taken to Twitter to share their dismay.
