New Delhi, Nov 26 (NationPress) On Wednesday, Google Meet experienced a significant service disruption in India, preventing thousands of users from either joining or hosting video calls.

The popular video conferencing platform reportedly faced a widespread outage, leading many to cancel essential work meetings, online classes, and job interviews.

As per the outage-monitoring site Downdetector, approximately 1,760 users reported issues by 1:55 p.m.

Among these, 63% indicated that the website itself was unresponsive, while 35% pointed out server-related difficulties.

A minor segment, about 3%, experienced video quality issues. Many users trying to join meetings encountered a “502, that’s an error” message displayed on their screens.

The social media platform X quickly became a hub of frustrations as users sought confirmation regarding the severity of the issue.

Users shared screenshots and expressed sentiments such as “Is Google Meet down for everyone?” and “What’s wrong with Google Meet?”

Some users tagged @GoogleIndia for updates, while accounts like @metawire urged Google to resolve the issue quickly as they could not join calls.

“I finally got an interview, and now Google Meet is down,” one user lamented.

Interestingly, a few users reported that Google Meet was functioning normally for them, but not for others in their organization, adding to the confusion.

Others found they could access meetings, while their colleagues could not.

This outage also sparked a mix of humor and anxiety, with users questioning why several major platforms had issues this month.

One user remarked, “First Cloudflare, then AWS… now it’s GCP’s turn,” while another noted that they were still “waiting for a GCP outage” given the trend.

As of now, Google has not provided an official explanation for the disruption.

This incident follows closely on the heels of a significant outage affecting various parts of the internet linked to Cloudflare.
