Downdetector, which showed there were more than 10,000 incidents of people reporting issues with YouTube, tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform.

The company said in a tweet that logging in and using the navigation bar were among the issues users faced.

YouTube did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
