Is Zoom down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Zoom right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Zoom continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, can't join meeting, audio / video issues, calls dropping and screen sharing failing. Those are the options the report button offers for Zoom, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Zoom specifically, sign-in, meeting connectivity, phone and cloud recording are separate, and calls are routed through regional data centres. A meeting can fail for you while others in it are fine, and recording is processed after the call, so it can fail long after a meeting that went perfectly. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Zoom, join the test meeting at zoom.us/test. Connecting there but not to your own meeting points at that meeting or its host settings. Failing there too, on another network, points at Zoom or your connection. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Zoom's side. Specifically: do not restart the meeting repeatedly. Each restart drops everyone who did manage to connect, and Zoom usually recovers a degraded call on its own. The dial-in numbers keep working when the app's connection does not. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Zoom publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Zoom itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.zoom.us, and it is linked further up this page. That is Zoom's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Zoom or zoom.us. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Zoom's own support, not us.
