/in /tarafından

Google said its video-conferencing platform, Google Meet, is back online after a disruption earlier on Monday that left thousands of U.S. users unable to access sessions.

The outage caused slow interface loading and blocked users from joining meetings, according to Google. The company traced the problem to a recent change in content edge cache, which it has since rolled back.

At the peak, tracking site Downdetector logged nearly 16,400 incident reports, though the actual number of affected users could have been higher. By 2:43 p.m. ET, reports had dropped to around 600 cases.

Google confirmed the issue was resolved and apologized for the inconvenience, saying normal service has resumed.

Alphabet’s Google announced on Thursday that it had resolved a brief global outage that disrupted several of its core services, including Google Chat, Google Meet, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Cloud Search, Google Tasks, and Google Voice.

The disruption also impacted third-party platforms reliant on Google Cloud infrastructure, such as music streaming service Spotify and messaging app Discord, as well as Snapchat. The outage began around 1:50 p.m. ET and caused widespread service interruptions across multiple regions.

At the peak of the outage, tracking website Downdetector.com recorded approximately 46,000 outage reports for Spotify and nearly 11,000 reports for Discord in the U.S. alone. Google Cloud’s engineering teams worked swiftly to mitigate the issue, and by 6:18 p.m. ET, outage reports had significantly decreased to just over 1,000 for Spotify and around 200 for Discord.

Google stated it will publish a detailed analysis after completing an internal investigation into the incident.

Social media platforms X and Reddit have both recovered from outages that affected thousands of users across the United States on Thursday, according to data from outage tracking website Downdetector.com. The disruptions impacted users’ access to the sites for several hours before services were restored.

Reddit acknowledged the issue on its status page, noting that degraded performance started at approximately 3:16 p.m. ET. At the height of the outage, more than 33,000 incidents were reported, as tracked by Downdetector, which aggregates user-submitted reports.

A Reddit spokesperson explained that the issue was caused by a bug in a recent update, which has since been resolved, restoring the platform’s functionality.

Meanwhile, X also experienced a similar disruption, with about 18,000 outage reports at its peak. The disruption for the platform, owned by Elon Musk, began around 3:03 p.m. ET. X has yet to provide an official comment regarding the issue.

Though the reports are based on user submissions, the exact number of affected users is difficult to determine. Both platforms have since resumed normal service.
