Youtube app on Xbox 360 displaying error message. "Sorry, Youtube isn't available Right now..."

im having the same problem, xbox live status says all apps are fine but youtube and vimeo wont run, giving me the "Sorry, YouTube isn't available right now. Please try again later. For more information, go to www.xbox.com/status." message.
glad im not the only one.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem, when I try to access the app however I cant even get to youtube at all. I get a screen that says " sorry youtube isn't available right now, please try again later " they gave a link to report the problem
to youtube it self but the link doesn't work. and I don't use my 360 at all really, only for Netflix and youtube, so I don't see what or how something would have got changed. I cleared the cache and even re downloaded the app to no avail, I'm thinking this
may be a external problem with youtube it self but it seems like a few select people are only having the problem.

Hey there Asmoyashi!

Sorry to hear about the issues with the Youtube Application. When you say "Unable to load You Tube videos" What do you mean?

• Are the Youtube videos just not starting and you see black?
• Are the Youtube videos saying something like "Sorry, YouTube isn't available right now. Please try again later. For more information, go to the status page"
  If you do see this error, you can check out the
  Live Status page and look for the YouTube application, but if this isn't it, just use this for future reference.
  
• Are you seeing "Sorry, this video cannot be played" or "Sorry, but we cannot display the item you requested to view"
  

If you see one of these messages in the third bullet point, wait for exactly one minute. Then, try to play the content you see in the search results. If you continue to see anything related to these messages or an error, return to the previous menu from
your search results and select a different piece of content to watch.

Also when there is any issues with the applications with YouTube you can reach the
https://support.google.com/youtube/?rd=1#topic=4355266.

Now if any of this isn't really getting to the bottom of the issue, i'd recommend deleting and re installing your YouTube application.

Let me know the answer to the questions I've used bullet points on once you've returned, and let me know how the troubleshooting steps I've given you work out.

You can try download it from apps marketplace directly on console. Try to use search (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWbYaPchE20)

I have already tried that. The problem is that youtube isn't appearing as available to download. Could you tell me why its not accessible?

Check if you can access the website using the internet explorer app, if you can, then at least you can still use youtube on the console. It's possible that Google has retired the Xbox 360 youtube app, and if that is the case then it will no longer work.
Have a look on the youtube support site, they might have more info about this issue for you.

Having checked the youtube support site, they state this:

"If you see the error message “YouTube isn’t available right now,” it may be because your internet connection is slow."

Below are some tips to help solve the problem:

• Check or reset your internet connection.
• Contact your ISP to increase your internet speed.
• Restart your Xbox.
• Restart the YouTube app.
