Zoom was down
- kyoob 4y agoHalf day!
- nonoesp 4y agoZoom is returning a 502 Bad Gateway error, and, in some workspaces, it's returning the following Nginx error. > An error occurred. > Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later. > If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details. > Faithfully yours, nginx.
- gcbirzan 4y agoTheir status page is green, though!
- woobar 4y agoWebsite doesn't really matter. You can't join their online meetings or even dial-in. Not a great day they are having.
- jonawesomegreen 4y agohttps://zoom.us https://zoom.us - 502: Bad gateway https://status.zoom.us/ https://status.zoom.us/ - All Systems Operational Seems fine to me. Edit: Looks like the status page says MAJOR OUTAGE now.
- 300bps 4y agoSomeone is debating with a VP right now… “But our whole website is down! We have to update the status page.” “Nope. Leave it green.”
- VyseofArcadia 4y agoI was once on a team responsible for, among other things, the status page of a pretty big, important product. I always new somewhere in the back of my mind that status pages were not 100% accurate, but it was still a shock to hear my boss's boss flat out tell all the new hires that the page was mostly advertising and politics and that we only ever updated it if a VP had decided that it was ok if there were news stories about the incident.

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI see you too are familiar with the Azure status page.
- modinfo 4y agoAt my place in Germany works zoom.us as always very well. Website is working for me.
- totaldude87 4y agohttps://downdetector.com/status/zoom/ https://downdetector.com/status/zoom/ is the status page everyone deserves
- nonoesp 4y agoWe are falling back to Slack huddles for team standup.
- sillyquiet 4y agoI kinda wish everybody here had forgotten about that option. Was prepared to get some serious heads down time.
- nonoesp 4y agoWe almost canceled (!).
- JshWright 4y agoI hope Zoom's SRE team has a fallback for incident response coordination...
- jamiegreen 4y agoi am currently on a zoom call
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoData plane OK; control plane KO.
- woobar 4y agoYeah I was on a call when I saw first reports. Call was ok. Few minutes later jumping on another meeting - no dice.
- 300bps 4y agoI was on a zoom call 10 am to 11 am and it worked fine. Hung up from that one and couldn’t get on my 11 am one. Seems like in process calls are fine. On the bright side my productivity is up 84% since I can’t join meetings.
- dylan604 4y agothat remaining 16% is HN related?
- Victerius 4y agoSchrödinger's Zoom: Half the people in this thread say Zoom is fine. The other half says it's down.
- nonoesp 4y agohttps://figma.zoom.us/ https://figma.zoom.us/ - Showing Nginx error
- swozey 4y agoWhile we're here and probably need a quick alternative, does anyone know of a screen sharing service that allows you to share a portion of the screen and not just a tab/app? I'm on an ultrawide monitor and it's a real pain screensharing. I've tried tuple, tandem, google meets.. none of those allow it.

- gog 4y agoSlack
- LeonenTheDK 4y agoWhat I've done before is use OBS to capture a potion of a screen, then start its virtual camera and use that as the camera input for whatever service I'm using. You can set up different scenes too to switch between camera, region of screen, and whatever else you may want. I'm a big fan of this set up too because then it doesn't matter what service you use. Whether you're in a Teams meeting with your team, Zoom with a client, Discord with friends, same set up across the board.
- ruined 4y agoiirc zoom has some features like annotation that only work over a "screenshare" as it understands them, and not on other surfaces. it's possible to go one step further with OBS, take your capture camera and open a "windowed projector" and just share that window with zoom. then you have a window with a view manipulable from within OBS but zoom understands it as a screen capture too.
- LeonenTheDK 4y agoOh interesting, had no idea Zoom was so robust. The projector bit is good to know, thanks for sharing!
- endtime 4y ago
- nonoesp 4y agohttps://zoom.us/ https://zoom.us/ is back online (here, at least).
- TrevorJ 4y agonginx error for me
- golergka 4y agoMust only be the website, the meeting I'm on have been going for the last hour and a half without any problems.
- spikefromspace 4y agoif you join via a link, it routes through their website but it seems to work fine via the app.
- o_nate 4y agoThis worked for me too. Also joining by phone (audio only) seems to work.
- totaldude87 4y agoFinally a "MAJOR OUTAGE" on their status page - https://status.zoom.us/ https://status.zoom.us/
- shabbatt 4y agoThe whole time we were on a zoom call and didn't notice anything.
- nonoesp 4y agoIt doesn't seem like the call service was down but their website, the service that would route you to connect to the call, thus Zoom links are broken. Indeed, I was able to join a meeting at 10:57 but nobody was able to join the same meeting two minutes after that.
- tylerwince 4y ago*The worst part of Zoom being down:* Being forced to use Microsoft Teams for meetings.
- nonoesp 4y agoOur scrum master created a Teams meeting but we ended up using Slack huddles.
- dylan604 4y agoI think you just won today's buzzword bingo

- leesec 4y agoI use teams every day for meetings and never have any issues.
- ruined 4y agofound the microsoft employee
- lisper 4y agoI am a card-carrying Microsoft hater and I have to say that I find Teams to be quite good all in all. Shockingly so in fact given my general expectations about Microsoft products. (I use Teams at work where I have no choice otherwise I would not touch it with a ten foot pole.)
- hallway_monitor 4y agoSame here, used it for three years. Never a problem, works great. It's trendy to hate on Microsoft here though.
- gorbachev 4y ago
- ruined 4y agothank god
- nonoesp 4y agoBack online now. It's been 25–30 minutes since I first encountered the error and posted it here.
- theideaofcoffee 4y agoCan we just leave it down? That would be a great benefit for humanity.
- _jal 4y agoThat would just result in a new, slightly worse conferencing tool emerging. An executive's desire for a sea of carefully self-monitored faces will not be denied.
- spoils19 4y agoOur Fortune 500 company uses the conferencing tool that I wrote up over a weekend, and when the exec asked me to auto-enable webcams, I immediately put my foot down and said no. I was considering disabling cameras altogether, but arguably that was too forward thinking for the company at the time.
- trasz 4y agoSo, what exactly happened to the old standardized, interoperable, properly distributed VoIP?
- derbOac 4y agoI really wish there was more use of Jitsi and other alternatives that would allow you to host on other servers etc. Not because I dislike Zoom but just because (1) competition is good, and (2) there's always situations like this either globally or locally that arise and it would be nice to have more options.
- endtime 4y agoGoogle Meet works great! Doesn't require anything installed either, just works in-browser. I wish my employer used it instead of Zoom. Google uses it internally for all meetings, so it's probably not going anywhere either.
- williamstein 4y agoI just saved the day for the Sagemath dev meeting an hour ago by getting us to all use Jitsi instead of the broken zoom. Most of the other participants hadn't used Jitsi before, so it was a nice opportunity to introduce them to it. I would also add another point to your list above, which is (3) Jitsi is open source (APACHE licensed -- https://github.com/jitsi https://github.com/jitsi) and you can use it without creating an account or self host it. It seems to be a great project that deserves more popularity and support.

- shukantpal 4y agoIf you're looking for an alternative, look at Teamflow https://www.teamflowhq.com https://www.teamflowhq.com − but it's a lot more! (Disclaimer: I work there)
- nonoesp 4y agoI love how my initial title was "Zoom Is Down" but it got updated to "Zoom was down" by moderators after the issue was solved. =)
