YouTube users across the globe were unable to access the video sharing website or its other services such as YouTube TV and YouTube Music for around 30 minutes on Wednesday.

The users took to social media and the social forum was flooded with complaints about the outage in the 30-minute period.

YouTube, then, released a statement on Twitter. "We are working on resolving this and will let you know once fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated," the company said.

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.
