IsDown pulls data from Google Workspace's status page every few minutes and collects user-reported issues. Refresh the page to see if there are any updates.
This chart displays the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.

IsDown offers an easy way to monitor Google Workspace with maximum flexibility
IsDown monitors Google Chat for major outages. A major outage is when Google Chat experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. When Google Workspace marks an incident as a major outage, IsDown updates its internal status, the customer status page and dashboard. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown monitors Google Workspace status page for minor outages. A minor outage is when Google Chat experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. When a minor outage occurs, IsDown updates its internal status and shares that information on the customer status page. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in Google Workspace status page to provide the most accurate information. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
IsDown monitors Google Workspace and all their 21 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
Google Workspace and other vendors don’t always report outages on time. Our crowdsourced status platform helps you stay ahead of outages. Users report issues and outages, sharing details on what problems they are facing. We use that info to provide early signs of outages. This way, even without an official update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
Google Chat isn't down. You can check Google Chat status and incident details on the top of the page. IsDown continuously monitors Google Chat official status page every few minutes. In the last 24 hours, there were 0 outages reported.
Google Chat is currently operational. You can check Google Chat status and incident details on the top of the page. The status is updated in almost real-time, and you can see the latest outages and issues affecting customers.

IsDown monitors the Google Chat official status page every few minutes. We also get reports from users like you. If there are enough reports about an outage, we'll show it on the top of the page.
Google Chat last outage was on January 22, 2025 with the title "Customers attempting to start a direct message chat with a new contact from the Chat Web search bar may receive the error “Can’t start a direct message right now. Try again later.” Customers can attempt to start a new direct message using the "New Chat" button. Mitigation work is currently underway by our engineering team. We do not have an ETA for mitigation at this point. We will provide more information by Wednesday, 2025-01-22 12:00 US/Pacific."
IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if a service is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information. The integration allows us to provide more details about the outage, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
