About Zoom problems

Zoom problems can affect joining meetings, audio, video or screen sharing, while zoom.us itself still loads. Meetings need Zoom's media connections to pass through firewalls, so restrictive office, school or hotel networks can break audio and video. Zoom's official status page lists known problems with Meetings, Phone and other services.

Official information

Zoom official status page (verified )

Our check and Zoom's own status page can disagree. We test from one location and read only the homepage response. The provider reports what it knows about its own systems, such as sign-in, apps or single regions. A site can answer our check while one feature is broken, and a regional problem can affect one location but not another.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Zoom problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Cannot join meetings If Zoom keeps trying to connect to a meeting, a firewall or proxy may block Zoom's connections, so test another network or join from the browser if the host allows it. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Audio or video drops Zoom audio and video can freeze or drop when your device switches between Wi-Fi and mobile data during a meeting. Guide: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
  • Zoom sign-in loops If signing in to zoom.us keeps returning to the login page, clear cookies for zoom.us only and sign in with the same method as before. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Zoom blocked on this network Some workplace or school networks block Zoom, so if it fails there but works on mobile data the network policy is the cause. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
  • Screen sharing does not work On macOS, Zoom needs the Screen and System Audio Recording permission before screen sharing works, so check the privacy settings in System Settings.

General fixes: Meetings and work chat

  1. Check microphone and camera access Make sure the app may use the microphone and camera in your system privacy settings, and pick the right devices in the app.
  2. Join from the browser If the desktop app will not connect, open the meeting or workspace in a browser. This shows whether the app or the network is the problem.
  3. Use a steady connection Calls need a stable connection. Move closer to the router or use a cable, and pause large downloads during the call.
  4. Ask about network rules Company and school networks may block calls or live connections. Your IT team can tell you whether the service is allowed.
