Restrictions in Russia
On 10 February 2026, the regulator excluded the service's domain from the national domain name system, leaving the site and app inaccessible without extra tools across most home and mobile providers. On certain providers (such as parts of the Rostelecom network), access has been restored intermittently without explanation throughout 2026.

How can I check if YouTube opens on my device?

Why doesn't YouTube open for everyone?
The regulator restricted access on 10 February 2026: the site and app do not open on most providers. Restrictions apply unevenly: the service does not open at all on some providers, while on others it loads slowly or partially. That's why it might work for friends but not for you.
