Is Slack down?

Loading…About Slack outages
Slack is a workplace messaging platform, and because entire companies depend on it, even short incidents are disruptive. Slack publishes detailed component-level status — messaging, huddles, and file uploads can fail independently.
Slack publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Slack FAQ
Why won’t my Slack messages send?
Messages that hang with a retry icon usually indicate a Slack messaging-service incident, which Slack breaks out separately on its status page from calls and file uploads. Workspace-level problems affect all members at once — ask a colleague before debugging your own setup.
Slack huddles are broken but chat works — is Slack down?
Huddles use real-time media servers that are separate from text messaging, so audio can fail while chat is unaffected. That counts as a partial Slack outage on their side; switching to a call in another tool is usually faster than troubleshooting locally.
Is Slack down for everyone or just me?
We test Slack (https://slack.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Slack's official status channels.
