The video service has gone dark in the U.S. on Tuesday night.
The V&A museum has reconstructed an early YouTube watch page, showing the 19-second clip “Me at the zoo” from 2005.
YouTube’s very first video, ‘Me at the zoo,’ is being honored with an exhibit at the Victoria and Albert museum in London.
YouTube went down on Tuesday night, with more than 300,000 users experiencing technical difficulties, according to DownDetector. Problems for the digital video platform began around 5 p.m. PT, and some users saw services partially restored as early as about 6:00 p.
The outage caused a flood of users to report access problems for YouTube. The video-sharing platform has since traced the issue to its recommendations system.
