Microsoft 365 working to address potential Outlook and Teams outage

If you’re a Microsoft 365 user, this Monday may have been a little more frustrating for you than usual.

The product family of software announced early Monday morning that it is investigating an issue impacting Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams users. Microsoft 365 applications, including Outlook and Teams, are heavily relied on by many places of work around the world.

In an afternoon update, Microsoft 365 said it is “facing delays” in its effort to address the issues.

‘We understand the significant impact of this event to your businesses and are working to provide relief as soon as possible,’ Microsoft said on X.

Downdetector, an online platform that monitors website and service outages, says user reports indicate issues with Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams. Problem reports for the services seemed to spike just before 1 p.m.

Users posted in the comment sections on the Downdetector website to share the issues they’ve been facing this work day.

‘It is almost 2:00 PM EST. I am still unable to get access to Outlook,’ one commenter wrote in the Microsoft 365 comment section.

Another commenter from Michigan said their Outlook account has been down since around 10 a.m. EST.
