Many users also complained about login difficulties and failed attempts to connect to scheduled meetings. The surge in reports began around midday, disrupting various online activities.
Google Response
As of Wednesday afternoon, Google has not issued a detailed statement on the cause of the outage. The company’s status dashboard confirms service disruptions but does not provide a timeline for resolution. Users are advised to check the dashboard for updates and try joining meetings again after some time.
