您今日是否遭遇無法正常觀看 YouTube 直播的狀況？你可不孤單，因為 YouTube 於全球不少地區陸陸續續傳出故障中斷的問題。
約在今日上午 11 點過後，不少台灣的 YouTube 用戶就發現 YouTube 直播卡頓、無法正常觀看，非直播類型的 YouTube 影片也有同樣問題。筆者觀察，約在 11 點半左右 YouTube 逐漸恢復正常。
特別的是，11 點的時間點正在舉行行政院會後記者會，由數位政委唐鳳說明「簡訊實聯制」的新措施，相信不少民眾正透過 YouTube 平台收看這場記者會直播。
If you were having issues uploading or watching videos on YouTube (including live streams) in the last ~45 mins – this issue has been fixed.
Note: if your video is processing, it should complete now – otherwise you may need to reupload.
Thanks for all of your reports!
