Zoom is down too many – here is what we know about the video call platform’s power outage

Refresh

Along with not being able to start or attend zoom meetings, the platform’s status page also appears to be down … at least for some.

The latest update from Zoom came at 1 p.m. 16:16 one and read:

Identified – We continue to examine the questions about domain names resolution on Zoom.Us domain that affects more services. More updates to follow. “

People at least seem to have fun commenting on the power cut. Many people also comment on switching back to personal meetings, or essentially it is time for people who work externally to take a break.

Zoom is investigating that the power cut hits its platform

Some good news on the road to solving this power outage is that Zoom has recognized the problems it is facing right now.

At. 15.17 a one said Zoom that it began to investigate some problems across its services, and at 1 p.m. 15:51 one one, the service that was sent:

“We are continuing to examine the questions about domain names resolution on zoom.us domain that affects more services. More updates to follow.”

Apparently Zoom is still trying to determine what caused the problem. Once identified, this will hopefully move into the resolution phase and eventually bring the video call service back online.

It is also worth noting that this power outage is not only limited to a particular region or country such as the United States or the United Kingdom, but this is a global power outage according to Zoom’s Service Status page.

While a zoom interruption spells problems to connect with colleagues or take meetings, people who have encountered problems with the platform have at least fun with GIFs on social media.

With the zoom app on MacOS, I am able to open it, but I cannot log on to the platform.

Similarly, my colleague Lance Ulanoff-Techradar’s editor-in-store is in a similar loop of being able to enter an email and password, but then does not receive a verification code to actually log in to the service.

While down -detector reports start to slow down a bit, there are still over 50,000 reports of zoom not working on the platform, and the status page still shows at least ‘partial power cuts’ for a few core services.
