Zoom goes down, stopping much of the remote workplace and classroom


Zoom, the video conferencing service that has become remote throughout pandemic life, suffered a mass outage on Monday morning, recognized the company.

“If you’re having trouble connecting to Zoom, we’ve identified the problem and are working on a fix,” San Jose-based Zoom said in a statement at 10:23 a.m. EDT. “We are sorry for the inconvenience.”

The strikes have affected perhaps millions of staff, with meetings moved online during the pandemic, and students, in perhaps their first day of the new fall semester.

American University Law Professor Robert Tsai retweeted an announcement about Zoom out and added, “Get ready to teach first grade and get this email.”

But Penn State student Conor Camazine tweeted the “This is good” poison, add and observe the hashtag #zoomdown, this “is definitely one way to get myself back into a full class charge.”

At 12:14 PM EDT, Zoom announced that “meeting and webinar service has been restored for the majority of users” and then at 12:44 pm EDT declared the company that “everything should work fine.”

“We will continue to monitor the situation,” Zoom said. “Thank you all very much for your patience and our sincere apologies for disrupting your day.”
