Microsoft Teams and Outlook Outage: Update on Progress and Impact
Update Regarding Microsoft outage
On Monday, Microsoft addressed a significant outage impacting its Outlook and Teams services. The company identified the issue and began deploying a fix to restore functionality. As of noon ET, outage-tracking site Downdetector reported over 5,000 user complaints.
Microsoft announced on X that a fix was underway, with approximately 98% of affected environments receiving updates by noon. However, some restarts experienced slower-than-expected progress (source).
Despite delays, US users jokingly welcomed the downtime as a prelude to the Thanksgiving holiday
For context, while this incident disrupted operations, it is far less severe compared to the CrowdStrike outage earlier this year, which caused global economic losses exceeding $5 billion (details).
