YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc's Google, said late on Nov 11 that it had fixed a glitch that led to a worldwide outage of the video-streaming service.

DownDetector.com, a website which monitors outages, showed nearly 286,000 incidents of people reporting issues with the service.

The issue started at around 6:53pm ET (7:53am, Nov 12, Malaysia), according to Downdetector.com, with users complaining about trouble in watching videos on the platform.

"We're so sorry for the interruption. This is fixed across all devices & YouTube services," YouTube said in a tweet (https://bit.ly/36r4sjz), without explaining what had caused the outage.

Google did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on the outage.
