Google Meet experienced significant disruption across India on Wednesday, with more than 1,500 users reporting outages on monitoring platform DownDetector. Users took to social media to state that meeting links were failing to load or returning an “unable to join” message, with many also reporting that they were being pushed back to the home screen after attempting to join a call.
Reports of outages began to escalate shortly after 10:40 a.m., as affected users said they were unable to access meetings through shared links. The issue appears to be impacting both desktop and mobile users.
