At least in the US it seems like folks are unable to use zoom right now

Looks like the zoom.us domain has a problem, currently suspended with a serverHold.

Their status page has moved the incident to 'identified' and the serverHold no longer shows in the whois response

Appears hold was removed about 10-15 mins ago. It should start resolving again as caches expire.

We are investigating domain name resolution issues on the zoom.us domain that is affecting multiple services. Regular updates will be provided. Posted 19 minutes ago. Apr 16, 2025 - 12:17 PDT

I can only imagine the drop in productivity across the world. Good luck, Zoom SREs - no pressure!

Very asymmetrical effect I'm sure. Developers suddenly had their schedule open up; sales teams and managers idled or sent scrambling to update their calls to the D-list options (Meet & Slack Huddles)

In a perfect world, all human is developer.

Yes, it's been down as of at least 20 minutes ago.
