You might have been affected by an outage that affected many of Google’s services including Gmail, Hangouts and YouTube. Tens of thousands of complaints popped up on social media and other places around 7 AM ET. Google themselves acknowledged that there was a problem. But things were apparently up and running just after 8 AM ET.
According to Downdetector, the problem affected users across the world, but appeared especially widespread in the northeastern U.S., Britain and other parts of Europe. Japan, Malaysia and India also looked to be more affected. And most of the problems related to the inability to log in. But like I said, things should be fine now.
