新的更新正在添加到這個故事的底部……。
YouTube 很容易成為最流行的視頻共享平台世界上幾乎每個國家。
該網站聲稱每月有超過 20 億的登錄用戶和超過每天消耗數十億小時的視頻。
儘管有相當多的爭議，YouTube 仍然是大多數尋求分享或觀看視頻的人發現自己的首選。這可能不會很快改變。
但並非一切都按應有的方式運行，因此有時觀眾甚至創作者會遇到問題或不得不處理經常出現的討厭的錯誤經常在 YouTube 上。
就在昨天，YouTube 去了 對全球許多用戶關閉幾個小時。根據多份報告，觀眾在嘗試在網站上播放視頻時收到錯誤消息。
YouTube 確實 確認情況並為所有用戶解決問題並提供後續評論 並為中斷道歉。
幸運的是，此類重大問題並不經常發生，但是影響較小的錯誤往往會惹惱用戶。
通常，YouTube 會很好地確認用戶遇到的大多數錯誤和問題，並根據受影響的用戶數量在幾小時或幾天內修復它們。
它還定期發布更新Android 和 iOS 上的應用程序，以確保解決可能存在的任何錯誤。
話雖如此，要跟踪已確認的錯誤並不總是那麼容易已解決或已修復，以及哪些仍待確認。
因此，在這篇文章中，我們將盡我們最大的能力跟踪所有現有錯誤、問題和待改進的狀態，以提供幫助您可以節省時間。
下面的跟踪器將在出現新錯誤時定期更新，或者當現有錯誤、問題或 YouTube 上的待改進有任何開發時，因此明智的做法是保留定期關注這篇文章。
