Outage reports in the UK dropped to nearly 70 from more than 3,000, while Canada also reported quick restoration of the service, according to the website, which shows outages by collating status reports from multiple sources.

YouTube did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the reason for the outage.
The actual number of affected users may differ from what’s shown on Downdetector because these reports are user-submitted.
