Popular video streaming Web site, Youtube suffered from a global outage on Wednesday morning. 

Several users who tried to login, upload or watch content on the platform were confronted with a message -- 'Error 500'.

The website remained inaccessible for over half an hour and social media sites were soon flooded as enraged customers complained about the outage.

Soon, #YouTubeDOWN started trending on Twitter.

Reacting to the complaints, the company issued a statement on Twitter, saying: Thanks for your reports about YouTube, YouTube TV and YouTube Music access issues.
