Gemini “Something went wrong (1184)”

Gemini Web shows Something went wrong (1184) when continuing a conversation. See the reported video context and how to compare a fresh chat without assuming a known code definition.

Quick answer

A Gemini Web user report links Something went wrong (1184) to attempts to continue a signed-out conversation after a YouTube video was attached to a reply. This is a reported scenario, not a public Google definition of code 1184. Preserve the conversation and compare one short new chat without the video context.

Exact message and reported setting

The poster said Gemini Web returned Something went wrong (1184) on each follow-up after a video appeared in the conversation. The post places the first occurrence around August 21, 2026; a later commenter said they also encountered it. That is limited community evidence. It cannot show whether the video, signed-out mode, the specific conversation, or a service change was the cause.

What to compare

  1. Save the conversation URL if available, the prompt, whether you were signed in, and the exact 1184 text. Do not delete the affected conversation before recording what it contains.
  2. Try a short new conversation without an attached or referenced video. If that works, the failure may be conversation-specific. If it fails too, compare a second client or account and check Gemini's relevant status scope.
  3. If the error recurs only when continuing the video conversation, report that pattern through Gemini feedback with the time and redacted details. A reload or app restart is a reasonable single test after saving the context, but no verified 1184-specific fix is documented in the cited report.

Frequently asked questions

Does 1184 mean Gemini is down?

The number alone does not establish an outage. Check whether new conversations and other users are affected at the same time.

Is 1184 the same as 1185?

They are different displayed numbers. Use the 1185 guide only when the message actually says 1185.

Will removing the video repair the old chat?

The public report does not demonstrate that. A new no-video chat is a comparison, not a repair promise.

Why does a new chat work when the old one does not?

That pattern suggests the affected conversation or its context deserves closer examination. It does not prove a single technical cause.
