YouTube's customer support team is experiencing disruptions due to widespread power outages in Spain and Portugal. These outages have impacted team members providing support in related European languages.

The extent of the disruption to support services, including the number of affected employees and support cases, has not been disclosed by YouTube.

The power outages across parts of Europe are causing significant disruptions to various essential services, including:

  • Traffic and Public Transportation
  • Flights and Trains
  • Healthcare and Schools
  • Banking and Phone Service
  • Industry Operations

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), YouTube stated they are working to support their affected teams and will resume support cases as soon as possible. However, power grid operators estimate restoration could take up to 10 hours in some affected regions.
