Could this be a problem with the app or YouTube server?

To determine whether or not the problem is isolated to the YouTube app, try to access YouTube through a browser.

If the error shows on both the YouTube app and browser version, then it could be a problem with Google’s YouTube server. In this case, you can either come back later and retry or reach out to YouTube Help for further assistance.
