As we have commented, the YouTube offices are separated from the Google campus, in a less university environment and in one of the busiest areas of San Bruno , in California. It should be remembered that YouTube is just one more unit within the search engine giant, which in turn is part of Alphabet Inc.
The YouTube building has its entrance at street level and although it has security, the entrance to the lobby is relatively more accessible that in the Googleplex complex or in facilities of other large technology companies, and even receives hundreds of daily visitors They want to visit where the magic is done with YouTube.
Some users are showing photographs taken in the vicinity of the YouTube headquarters , informing of a massive evacuation and a strong police presence:
