Microsoft 365 outage takes down Outlook, Teams and Copilot worldwide

Microsoft is dealing with a worldwide outage affecting Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Copilot and other 365 services. Millions of people rely on these tools for work, and some can’t get into their email or collaborate with coworkers.

Microsoft says servers started dropping offline after failing health checks. That left fewer servers handling the workload and put even more pressure on the system. The company says this wasn’t a traffic spike. It’s restarting servers, moving traffic between regions and testing fixes.

The outage is still ongoing. For a company that sells cloud services to businesses around the world, having so many products go down at once is a bad look.
