- YouTube and YouTube TV viewers had been reporting some odd blank-screen glitches.
- Google earlier confirmed the issue, and offered tips for a work-around while a fix was in progress.
- Everything should now be back to full working order.
We’re all used to dealing with the occasional glitch with the software or services we use. Maybe that takes the form of a confusing error message. Maybe it’s the app simply doing something other than what we tell it to do. But maybe the most frustrating problems of all are the kind where we just get nothing to work with — like the blank-homepage issues some YouTube users recently started reporting. That’s exactly why we’re so glad to see that Google’s already sorting this mess out.
If you haven’t run into this one yourself, impacted users report firing up either YouTube or the YouTube TV app, only to see nothing much at all. With regular YouTube, thumbnails wouldn’t load, but at least we got some text. YouTube TV wasn’t even that lucky, and could just present as a fully blacked-out screen.
