RingCentral Video

RingCentral Video — previously known as Glip — entered the video conferencing market as part of RingCentral's broader pivot from pure cloud telephony toward a unified communications platform. Launched in its current form in 2012 and rebranded to RingCentral Video in 2020 to compete directly with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, it combines video meetings, team messaging, and file sharing within the same interface that enterprise customers already use for their cloud phone system. That tight integration with RingCentral MVP (Message, Video, Phone) is its primary differentiator in a crowded market.

RingCentral serves over 400,000 businesses globally, including a significant share of enterprise and mid-market customers who chose RingCentral for telephony and adopted Video as an included feature. This gives RingCentral Video a captive base of organizations that rely on it for both scheduled meetings and ad-hoc calls. Because it is tightly coupled to the underlying RingCentral telephony infrastructure, video service degradation can accompany or precede broader phone system outages, compounding the disruption for affected businesses.

RingCentral Video outages typically appear as meeting join links returning errors, the desktop or mobile client failing to connect to a session, screen sharing freezing while audio continues, in-meeting chat messages not delivering, and the scheduling integration with Outlook or Google Calendar failing to generate meeting links. Authentication failures on the RingCentral SSO layer can lock users out of video alongside their entire RingCentral account.

Outage.gg tracks RingCentral Video service status using real-time community reports. If meetings are failing to connect or your video sessions are dropping unexpectedly, the live status page will show whether the issue is widespread and alert you when full service resumes.
