Microsoft admits Teams down

The official Microsoft 365 on X account admitted that Teams was experiencing issues around 1:45 p.m. “We are investigating an issue that affects several features of Microsoft Teams,” says an excerpt from the post.

Half an hour later, the page published that a network problem had been identified and that a failover was being carried out to “remediate the impact”. A failover is basically using a backup server when a primary server goes offline.

At 3:22 pm, Microsoft 365 Status reported that the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region failover had completed and that procedures for North America and South America were still taking place.
