Google Meet, a popular online video conferencing platform, faced a major outage in India on Wednesday, leaving many users unable to join meetings. According to Downdetector, over 981 people reported issues with the platform by 11:49 am. Frustrated users took to X to share their experiences and express their discontent. One user humorously noted that Google Meet crashed before their motivation to work did. Another user reported that the platform was down for their entire organization, but somehow still accessible to them. A third user wondered why multiple big tech platforms were experiencing outages this month. This incident comes on the heels of a recent outage at Cloudflare, a web-infrastructure firm, which took down several prominent websites, including X, Canva, and ChatGPT. While the issue was later resolved, Cloudflare's CTO acknowledged the company's failure to meet customer expectations and prevent the outage from impacting large amounts of traffic. Google Meet's outage has left many users wondering about the reliability of online platforms and the importance of robust infrastructure. As technology continues to advance, outages like these serve as a reminder of the need for companies to invest in robust systems and contingency plans to minimize disruptions.
