JAKARTA - The YouTube video streaming service is reportedly experiencing problems. It looks like this has an impact on users all over the world including Indonesia.
From the monitoring of the Downdetector website, the disturbance peaked at 07.00 WIB and as many as 256,094 reports were monitored at 07.24 WIB.
Although the exact cause is not known, when the VOI team accessed the streaming platform and tried to play one of the videos on the YouTube channel @voidotid, it showed that the loading time was quite long, even it couldn't be played. It seems that this disruption also affects other YouTube services, namely YouTube TV.
But YouTube has confirmed via the official Twitter account @TeamYouTube will immediately fix the problem.
"If you're currently having trouble watching a video on YouTube, you're not alone - our team is aware of the issue and is working to fix it. We'll follow up here with any updates," tweeted @TeamYoutube.
