It’s not just your class, Google Classroom is down in apparent outage

Reports are surfacing that Google Classroom is currently experiencing a sudden outage, while other Workspace apps remain operational. Initial spikes in reported issues on Downdetector began at 12:33 PM ET, with the number of complaints soaring from zero to over 500 in under an hour, suggesting a widespread problem rather than a few isolated instances.
Google Classroom, despite being a continually updated application, continues to be employed even after the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated remote learning. Recently, Google has started incorporating third-party enhancements to augment the utility of the web application for those still relying on digital learning tools. However, it seems that no other Google Workspace applications are impacted by this outage, apart from Classroom itself.
It is not unusual for various Google Workspace apps to face simultaneous disruptions. Google Drive appears to be functioning normally, with only a slight dip reported yesterday. Despite the extensive outage experienced by Classroom, it remains unclear whether Google has acknowledged the issue or provided any comment on it. Unless there is a more extensive problem at play, it is expected that Classroom will be back up and running soon.
