TikTok and Zoom have crashed across Australia with thousands of users reporting problems creating videos and joining virtual conferences.
Outage monitoring service Downdetector reported 1,166 Australian users could not access the viral video platform about 9am on Monday.
Another 1,721 users said they were unable to connect to Zoom at the same time. Far more were affected as only a small fraction report the outage online.
Office workers and students forced to work from home in Melbourne and Sydney due to Covid-19 outbreaks said they encountered error messages while trying to log on to Zoom for virtual meetings and classes.

'We are trying to do a Zoom but it keeps saying an error has occurred,' one school student wrote.
Users said they were faced with messages including 'error' and '502 Bad Gateway' when trying to log into video calls on the website.
'My family member can use Zoom in the same house but I can't,' another said.
Australians using TikTok reported being unable to like or comment on videos or check their notifications.
'It says WiFi is the issue but I have no problem on any other app,' one TikTok user wrote.
'Can't like or follow new accounts,' another said. 'It says unstable internet - 100 per cent working my end - definitely a TikTok fault.'
Outages reported for both services though appeared to have dropped by 10am - with only 63 TikTok users and 847 Zoom customers reporting issues at that time.
The outage comes after the video-sharing website went down across the world in July.

More than 1,100 Australian users reported being unable to access TikTok on Monday morning
The website said users in the US were the most affected by the outage - particularly in New York and California.
The app has more than one billion users worldwide, including 200 million in the US alone.
A Zoom spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia later on Monday the outage issue had since been fixed for its Australian users.
'We have resolved an issue that caused some users in Australia to be unable to access our services,' the spokeswoman said.
'We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.'
