What to do when YouTube is down?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days, you will know YouTube has had some problems lately. They’ve also had some more recent problems as well.
The best way to describe YouTube down would be that it is not working.
This happened to me last night – I waited 10 minutes to see if it was still “ YouTube down ” but it was not. I then tried to login again but it was still “Down”. I tried one more time and it still was not working.
At this point, I thought maybe it was just “paused” or “in need of an update” or “doesn’t work in this region”. I waited around for another hour or so to see if it would come back on. It didn’t and now it’s working but not sure why.

Make sure the autoplay option is set to only allow those parts of your videos that are relevant to your video content

Save videos with Chrome extension
Chrome has got some new extensions, allowing you to save videos and playlists with your Chrome browser. The extension is called Block Video and it will not allow you to load a video while the extension is active. However, this extension will work with Youtube videos too.
It has a few settings on it, for example, you can have it on or off automatically depending on the size of your home network. It also lets you choose to save videos only once. Lastly, you can set it to run in the background or when you are using other apps. You will have to install it from chrome://extensions and then click on the save icon to get started.
While it is good to have such an extension, it will not work with every YouTube video as you are not going to be able to save videos for later consumption.
