Zoom has announced an important update that will affect how users access real-time information about service availability and operational status. In an effort to improve transparency and user experience, Zoom will migrate its Service Status page from the existing domain to a new and dedicated domain.
What’s Changing?
Currently, Zoom users check the status of Zoom services including meetings, webinars, chat, phone, and other platform features. Zoom plans to migrate this page to www.zoomstatus.com to better align with best practices in service communication and deliver a more streamlined experience.
Key Details:
- New Domain: www.zoomstatus.com
- Current Domain: status.zoom.us
- Migration Timeline: The change will take place no earlier than 30 days from the official announcement.
Zoom has not specified the exact migration date yet, but the advance notice gives organizations and users ample time to prepare.
What This Means for Users
If you regularly access the Zoom status page—either directly or through automation—you’ll need to make a few quick adjustments:
- Update Bookmarks: Ensure all bookmarks to the old domain are replaced
- Automated Systems: If you have software or monitoring tools that reference the old status page, update those links accordingly.
- IT Administrators: Review and update any proxy settings, PAC files, or internal documentation.
Why the Change?
Zoom is making this transition to:
- Provide a more reliable and dedicated experience for system status updates.
- Separate critical communication infrastructure from the core Zoom domains.
- Enhance performance, security, and uptime for the service status page.
Next Steps
Zoom recommends keeping an eye on future announcements for the final switchover date. In the meantime:
- Begin updating internal resources now.
- Inform your IT teams or systems integrators about the domain migration.
- Check periodically to become familiar with the new layout and functionality.
Final Thoughts:
This domain migration is a technical adjustment meant to simplify service communication. By giving advance notice, Zoom helps avoid surprises and keeps users informed about what to expect.
