Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Google Meet Is Down
- 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.
