Google Meet is back up after suffering an outage According to Google's Workspace Status Dashboard and anecdotaluserreports, Google Meet is having difficulties today. Although the problem isn't universal, some folks can't access the Google Meet site, which shows a 502 error. Thankfully (or unfortunately, if you're hoping to dodge classes), there's a workaround. Affected users are still able to access Google Meet meetings via direct URL or calendar links. So long as the person having difficulties isn't the one that needs to create the meeting, that means participants should still be able to join even if they're among those running into trouble; links may simply have to be manually shared. Other platforms are also seemingly unaffected.
