How do I troubleshoot Google Meet issues?
- 1
Check Google Workspace Status
Visit workspace.google.com/status and look for Meet or Google Chat/Video listed with incidents or outages.
- 2
Test audio and video devices
Before blaming the server, use meet.google.com/preview to test your microphone and camera locally.
- 3
Try a different browser
Google Meet works best in Chrome. If you're experiencing issues in another browser, switch to Chrome as a quick fix.
- 4
Check your network and firewall
Meet requires specific ports to be open. Ensure UDP 19302-19309 and TCP 443 are not blocked by your firewall.

Use the Google Meet mobile app
If the web version is failing, try the Google Meet iOS or Android app — it often works when browser versions have issues.

Is Google Meet down right now?
Check workspace.google.com/status for official Google service status. If Meet shows an active incident, video calls are affected for all users.

Audio issues can be caused by browser permissions, device settings, or server-side problems. Test at meet.google.com/preview, ensure microphone permissions are granted, and check Google's status page.

Poor video quality indicates either degraded Google CDN performance or local network congestion. Try lowering your video resolution in Meet settings and check your internet speed.
