There are lots of unofficial, yet reliable services that track service outages for all sorts of websites. Some of these services will also populate an outage map. The outage map may not be official but the data is mostly reliable.

These outages tend to last a few hours at the most and Google is quick to troubleshoot the problem on their end. If your region has a Google Meet outage, you can try using a VPN and it may connect you to server in a different region however, the quality of the call may suffer. It’s best to wait for the problem to be resolved or temporarily switch to an alternative service.
