Google services, including YouTube, Gmail, and Google Drive, were restored for most users on Monday, following a global outage that affected thousands.

Google’s website that records the outages said that services that were affected for nearly an hour should be restored for most users.

The company has some of the most widely used services in the world. YouTube registers more than two billion registered users each month, and people watch more than one billion hours of video on its platform.

“We are back up and running!” the video platform said in a tweet. He had previously tweeted that many users were having trouble accessing YouTube.

According to outage monitoring website DownDetector, more than 12,000 YouTube users were affected in various parts of the world, including the United States, Great Britain and India.

Disruptions to certain Google apps are not uncommon, but Monday’s outage affected all of its popular services, including Google Hangouts, Google Chats, and Google Meet, products that people have used extensively during the Covid-19 pandemic.
