Zoom, a cloud-based video conferencing platform, faced significant disruptions Wednesday afternoon. More than 65,000 users reported issues via the outage-tracking website DownDetector.com. This incident comes as Zoom continues to be a critical tool for remote work since its surge in popularity during the 2020 pandemic. Founded in 2011, Zoom ranked 417th on Forbes’ list of America’s best midsize employers in 2025 and generated $4.5 billion in revenue with $9.9 billion in assets. The company is actively addressing the issue, and updates will follow as the situation develops.
