Zoom Facing Global Outage, Online Classes Affected

Zoom was down globally, affecting online classes and video calls in many parts of the world, India Today reported on Monday.

The worst-hit market was Australia, as the outage threw a wrench into the works by causing troubles for schools and colleges that heavily rely on the platform.

Down detector, a website that keeps track of outages on the internet, said the reports about the outage peaked at about 1200 at around 5 o’clock in the morning.

Accordingly, the video teleconferencing software program has immediately fixed the outage for most people in Australia, according to the news.com.au website.

There were around 150 reports about the outage by the time of publishing this article, meaning the company’s fix began to work. Nevertheless, there are still some users who are experiencing issues connecting to Zoom calls.

“We are aware of a subset of customers experiencing errors while joining a live meeting. We are currently investigating and will provide updates as we have them," Zoom said on Twitter.

It also apologized for any inconvenience after releasing a preliminary fix for whatever caused the outage. However, it was not clear yet on what caused the outage.
