Is Zoom down right now? Live status and outage tracker

Zoom outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 31 user reports came in for Zoom. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

The busiest 15-minute window had 4 reports, about 24 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Zoom not working

Zoom 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:

1. Quit the app and rejoin

   Leave the meeting and quit the app from the tray or menu bar, not just the window, then reopen it and join again with the same link. A stuck audio or video stream often clears on that second join, and the Join Audio prompt gives you Computer Audio as the choice. If the meeting refuses to load at all, zoomstatus.com shows whether other people are reporting trouble; if reports look normal, the host may have ended the session or you may be signed in under another account.

2. Test your mic and camera

   Open Settings with the gear icon and go to Audio, where Test Speaker and Test Mic show you which side is failing. The Video tab has a live preview, so you can see whether the camera works before you join anything. A black preview usually means the camera permission is switched off in your operating system's privacy settings.

3. Change networks and check the firewall

   Try a wired connection or a phone hotspot, and switch off the VPN for a minute to see if the picture changes. On Windows, Windows Security > Firewall & network protection > Allow an app through firewall needs Zoom ticked for both private and public networks. Office and campus networks block the ports the service needs, so ring IT if everything on your side checks out.

4. Sign out, clear data, reinstall

   Sign out inside the app, quit it fully, then delete the Zoom folder from your user app data directory before installing a fresh copy; leftover config files survive a normal uninstall. If the same account fails on a second device, the fault sits with the account or the host's meeting settings rather than your machine. The help centre at support.zoom.us covers both cases.

While Zoom is down: what to use instead

• Google Meet Start a browser meeting and share the link with everyone who needs to join, which works when you need video and screen sharing without waiting on the usual app.
• Microsoft Teams Use the workplace app your colleagues may already have open for calls and screen sharing.
• Webex Join from a browser or the app for a hosted meeting when the other side already uses it or you need a separate service.
• Phone call Call the other person instead when video is not needed.

Problems at the same time as Zoom

Since 6 October, all 5 of Zoom's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

When people report Zoom problems

The busiest hour for reports about Zoom is 18:00 to 19:00 Central European time, and the busiest day is Thursday.

Each bar is the average number of user reports in that hour, or on that day of the week, from 24 days of reports since 5 October 2026. The busiest bar is highlighted. Spikes in reports are left out, so one outage does not set the pattern.
