Google Meet suffered a major outage across India

Google Meet faced a major disruption in India on Wednesday, leaving thousands of users unable to join or host video calls.

The video-conferencing platform appeared to suffer a widespread outage, forcing many people to cancel work meetings, online classes and interviews.

According to outage-tracking website Downdetector, around 1,760 users had reported problems by 1:55 p.m.

Of these, 63 per cent said the website itself wasn’t working,



while 35 per cent flagged server issues.

A small share, around 3 per cent, reported video-quality problems. Many users trying to join meetings saw a “502, that’s an error” message on their screens.

Social media platform X quickly filled with posts as frustrated users asked whether the issue was widespread.

People shared screenshots and wrote messages such as “Google Meet down for everyone?” and “Why is Google Meet down??”
