YouTube users appear to be having trouble uploading videos, with several reports of processing errors and failed uploads.
A screenshot from the upload page shows a message saying “Oops, something went wrong,” while another warning at the bottom says “Processing abandoned” and notes that the platform encountered unexpected problems.

The issue also appears to be reflected on Downdetector, where YouTube problem reports saw a sharp spike in the last 24 hours. User comments on the outage tracking page suggest that the platform itself may still be loading normally, but video uploads are not working properly for some creators. Several users said their videos were not starting the processing stage, while others reported bugs with playlists and upload scheduling.

The problem seems mainly connected to YouTube’s upload and processing system rather than full access to the platform. This means viewers may still be able to watch videos, while creators may face delays when publishing new content.
YouTube has not confirmed the exact cause of the issue in the screenshots, but such problems are often linked to temporary server-side errors, processing delays, or platform bugs. Users affected by the issue may need to wait and retry uploading later, especially if the file has already been checked and the internet connection is stable.
