Web Widget Service Disruption Affects Multiple Pods January 29

Web Widget scrolling functionality was restored on 29 January 2026 after a 20-minute outage caused by an unintended side effect of a video playback update; customers required browser refresh to restore normal operation. Separately, Zendesk is redesigning the "Generated by AI" disclosure in Web Widget to reduce visual clutter by moving from per-message footers to a single label per agent per message group, rolling out automatically to all customers by 23 March 2026 with no action required. Additionally, Conversation Extensions are now available for AI Agents Advanced, enabling you to embed custom web views within the messaging widget to handle complex interactions like bookings, refunds, and data collection whilst maintaining access to conversation metadata and Sunshine Conversations context.
