On the other hand, there could be something wrong with your internet or Wi-Fi access or even your computer. Fortunately, there are some key ways in which you can figure out if the issue is with you or if Zoom is down for everyone.
How to Tell If Zoom Is Down
If you think Zoom is down for everyone and not just you, try these quick steps to check if you’re correct. If no one else is reporting a problem with Zoom, then the problem is likely to be an issue on your side.
What to Do When You Can’t Connect to Zoom
There are a few things you can try if Zoom seems to be working fine for everyone else, but not you. If nothing has fixed Zoom for you, you may have a problem with your internet connection. One major issue can be when you have too many devices using up your network bandwidth eventually slowing down your internet so you can’t use it. This can be a pivotal issue for video conferencing apps like Zoom which rely on a lot of bandwidth. However, it can be more complicated than that. Contact your ISP to gain further help.
Zoom Error Messages
PayPal can display standard HTTP status code errors such as 500 Internal Server Error, 403 Forbidden and 404 Not Found, but it can also display specific error codes exclusive to Zoom. Here’s the key one to know.
Error code 5000-5004 or 104101-104118: This error code means there’s a problem with connecting to Zoom’s servers. It can mean your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the servers, so you need to disable them. Sometimes, it can also simply mean the service is down.
If you’re still having issues with Zoom, try waiting it out. When Zoom is in heavy demand, it can run into issues and throw up errors when it’s simply overloaded. In particular, if you have a meeting starting on the hour, there can be a problem. Try to start meetings a few minutes after the hour to avoid the global ‘rush’ so you don’t have any errors.
