It has been reported that the video conferencing tool Google Meet suffered a major outage all over India with a large number of users unable to join or create meetings. Frustrated users turned to social media to complain, and their experiences were dramatic, calls dropped without warning, they could not log in, and they could not even join video meetings. Many of the users pointed out that the disruption affected work in progress, online classes, and scheduled video conferences, particularly on a weekday when remote connectivity is very important.
