    Yes, I'm in the same position. Would appreciate at least an email from Simple Practice saying that they are working on it.

    Same here, all of my clinicians have appts right now, and all the same error. This is alot of revenue being missed if we cannot connect. Simple practice chat closed early today of all days. Not good

    If you look at the bottom of your page now in this chat community browser you will see "System Status" click on it and it shows an outage. https://status.simplepractice.com/

    Same issue as well! While not good, helpful to know it is a problem across the board.

    I am unable to access the telehealth portal. Message says the link is inactive or has expired.

    Has anyone heard when it might be functioning again? I am wondering if I need to cancel my appointments for tonight or try to switch quick to another platform?

    Same here.  I would of appreciated an email or banner upon logging in as well.  Or at least financial credits to account for significant revenue lost?

    Same issue. I also would appreciate some input from Simple Practice acknowledging the problem and what is being done to address it. Must be resolved quickly for all the reasons already mentioned.

    it has been resolved for me ... but I used doxy.me as my backup Telehealth system .... makes me wonder if I should continue paying for simple practice

    Yes, resolved for me as well. That being said, I spent far too much time trying to figure out what was happening (logging out and back in multiple times, checking the internet, switching computers, contacting client to see if they were having the same issue) at a time when I was supposed to be in-session. I understand that the IT staff are focused on fixing the issue, but there must be communication staff that could have sent an email or added a banner to the site. Additionally, the error message I received at first (before the subject line message) was that the queue was full, likely meaning that there was not enough space for the amount of users on.

    I had the same issue! So frustrating!

    Please communicate so that I understand what happened and when it will be resolved so that I can prepare future clients.

    I was unable to connect with my client virtually.  My client and I both received an error message stating the the link had expired. It was very frustrating because all of my efforts to cancel /reschedule, restart my lap top, copy and paste the link, resend the link, change internet networks failed. Please let me know if there is an explanation and help to problem solve this problem in the future.

    Hi everyone,

    I understand that you may have experienced issues with Telehealth on 5/26, and I can offer some clarity here.

    At 1:19 PM PT on 5/26, our team released new functionality to the SimplePractice platform. We were able to immediately identify that some customers were unable to join Telehealth sessions, and proactively rolled back the release. Some customers continued to experience issues accessing their Telehealth sessions, and at 3:37 PM PT our engineering team released a fix for the issue. At that point, all customers were able to access the Telehealth platform and hold sessions. 

    While we make every effort to avoid unscheduled downtime for any feature, we can confirm it is resolved.

    While these types of incidents are extremely rare, our team took action to notify customers of this issue on our Help Center, in our Get Help feature within the SimplePractice web and mobile apps, and on your SimplePractice Calendar. Internally, our team is actively reviewing our operational procedures to prevent outages like this in the future. 

    There is no action required on your part, there are no security concerns related to your SimplePractice account, and your data is safe.

    Please know that our team is proud to maintain nearly 100% uptime, and we are committed to improving the reliability of our platform for our customers.

    If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us by clicking the blue question mark icon > Get Help on the lower right of your SimplePractice account and we'd be glad to work with you.
