Slack is a web service at slack.com. Visit the Slack status page on WebsiteDown for outage data, community reports, and AI-sourced intelligence.

How often does Slack experience outages?

Most major services maintain high uptime. Slack may experience brief outages during maintenance, traffic spikes, or infrastructure issues. Check the incident history section for recent data.

How long do Slack outages usually last?

Most Slack outages resolve within minutes to a few hours. Extended outages are rare for major services. Check our incident history for past resolution times.

Is it just me or is Slack down for everyone?

We check slack.com with a server-side HTTP probe. If our check shows the site is up but you can't access it, the issue is likely on your end — try clearing your cache, switching networks, or restarting your device.

Can I still make calls on Slack during an outage?

During partial outages, some Slack features like messaging may work while video calls don't, or vice versa. Try switching between features or use the mobile app as a fallback.

Are Slack messages delayed during outages?

Yes, messages sent during a Slack outage may be delayed or fail to deliver. They typically arrive once the service recovers. Check this page for live status updates.
