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 at status.zoom.us. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official Zoom status page?+

The official Zoom status page is at https://status.zoom.us/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects Zoom issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

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.
