How to fix Google Meet not working
Google Meet is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Check Google Meet status first
Start here. If you search “is Google Meet down” or “is Google Meet down right now,” compare operational, 0, and 100.00% before changing your account settings; the Google Meet server status can show a wider outage.
Refresh Chrome and rejoin the call
Google Meet not working today may come from a stuck browser tab, so close Chrome, reopen it, and join the meeting again. Search “Google Meet down detector,” “Google Meet outage today 2026,” or “is Google Meet working” to compare your result with current reports.
Check your network and DNS
Open the Google Meet network status page, then test another site on the same connection. If only Meet fails, restart your router or switch DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, since a local DNS fault can block the meeting service.

How we track Google Meet
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Google Meet, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Google Meet, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Google Meet's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
