Zoom status history
Our own checks from Europe and the US. Green means every check passed, amber means some checks failed, red means most checks in that period failed.
Outages our checks detected
None since Oct 13. A problem has to fail two checks in a row before we record it.

About Zoom
Zoom is a video-conferencing platform covering meetings (1:1 and group), webinars (1-to-many broadcast), Zoom Phone (cloud PBX), Zoom Chat, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom Apps. Outages affect meeting join (participants cannot connect), audio/video quality (choppy or dropped streams), chat messaging, scheduling (calendar integration failures), and the developer API for custom integrations. Because Zoom sits between work calendars and external customers, an outage during business hours disrupts hundreds of thousands of meetings simultaneously. Zoom Phone outages are particularly high-stakes because they break business phone lines for companies that use Zoom as their PBX.
The official Zoom status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours.
outage patterns
Common Zoom outage patterns
Real-time messaging platforms have a distinctive failure mode: separate subsystems can fail independently. The text channel keeps working while voice drops, or push notifications stop arriving while in-app messages still flow. This makes status feel unpredictable to end users who don't realize their issue is one slice of Zoom's stack.
The live tool above checks whether the public zoom.us endpoint responds from EU and US. It does not send a message, join a call, or validate push delivery, so a green result is only endpoint evidence. Pair it with the provider status reference and a real test of the affected feature.
Common signs Zoom is having issues
- Connection drops or "reconnecting" indicators that persist for more than 60 seconds
- Messages sending successfully on one device but not arriving on another
- Push notifications missing or delayed by minutes rather than seconds
- API rate limits hitting earlier than expected for bots and integrations
What to do when Zoom is degraded
When Zoom is having issues, the fastest signal is multi-region comparison. If both EU and US monitors report problems for zoom.us, it's a real outage. If only one region is affected, the issue is likely the regional gateway or a CDN edge. Switching the connection region in client settings (where Zoom supports it) often restores service before the platform-wide fix lands.

why independent monitoring
Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor Zoom on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
Historical data
Track Zoom uptime over time. See trends, identify recurring issues, and make informed decisions about your dependency.
Frequently asked questions
Is Zoom down right now?
See the latest check of zoom.us and its timestamp at the top of this page. If Zoom is down, you can also check the official status page for extra context.
How do I check if Zoom is having issues?
This page checks the public Zoom endpoint from EU and US. You can also monitor that endpoint on a schedule and receive confirmed-failure alerts through the channels available on your plan. Test the exact provider feature you use for a complete diagnosis.
How can I get alerted when Zoom goes down?
Add zoom.us to Visual Sentinel and its first check is free. To keep monitoring, start a 7-day trial (card required) or subscribe now: Solo and Starter check every 5 minutes, Business and Agency every 60 seconds, with email, push and chat alerts.
Where can I find Zoom outage context?
The official Zoom status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Visual Sentinel checks the public Zoom endpoint independently from EU and US. Paid Business and Agency plans support 60-second uptime checks.
Why can I start a Zoom meeting but participants cannot join?
Meeting rooms run on Zoom cloud infrastructure. A partial outage can affect the join path (authenticating and routing new participants to the meeting) while already-joined participants stay connected. Waiting rooms are particularly prone to getting stuck during these incidents.
Does a Zoom outage affect Zoom Phone?
Zoom Phone runs on mostly separate infrastructure from meetings, but they share auth. A Zoom auth outage can prevent new Phone sign-ins; a meeting-specific outage usually leaves Phone working. Check the dedicated "Zoom Phone" row on the status page.
