JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Millions around the world couldn’t get email, conduct searches or watch videos early this morning. They got error messages from Google instead.

Reports about the services began to surface at about 6:30 a.m. Google’s workplace status dashboard confirmed every single one of its products were hit by the outage.

About an hour later, all Google platforms appeared to be working.

At 8:07 a.m., Google tweeted that the outage was “all clear” but some users reported that they were still unable to reach Gmail.
