Looks like the zoom.us domain has a problem, currently suspended with a serverHold.

Their status page has moved the incident to 'identified' and the serverHold no longer shows in the whois response
Appears hold was removed about 10-15 mins ago. It should start resolving again as caches expire.

I can only imagine the drop in productivity across the world. Good luck, Zoom SREs - no pressure!
Very asymmetrical effect I'm sure. Developers suddenly had their schedule open up; sales teams and managers idled or sent scrambling to update their calls to the D-list options (Meet & Slack Huddles)
In a perfect world, all human is developer.
Yes, it's been down as of at least 20 minutes ago.
