A widespread Microsoft outage disrupted access to several of the company’s websites and applications on Thursday morning, with users reporting problems signing in and reaching key services. The disruption affected Microsoft products including Teams and Outlook, according to the report.
The issue appeared to impact login access across multiple services rather than a single app. For many users, the biggest problem was being unable to get into accounts or load the tools they rely on for email, messaging, and other work-related tasks.
Because the outage involved several Microsoft platforms at once, the disruption likely had a broad effect on people trying to connect during the morning hours. Teams and Outlook were among the most visible services mentioned, but the problem was described as reaching beyond just those two products.
At the time of the report, the outage was still affecting access to Microsoft sites and apps. Further details about the cause, the full scope of the disruption, or when service would be fully restored were not yet clear.
