Microsoft Teams was not available for hundreds of Indian customers on Wednesday. The company, while confirming the news said that in the Asia Pacific region, Microsoft Teams has been experiencing a widespread outage.
Microsoft announced through the Microsoft 365 Status account that they were "investigating an issue affecting user access to Teams services and functionality for customers hosted within the Asia-Pacific region". The outage took place just after 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Many MS Teams users were unable to join in the conversations or send messages, and they expressed their frustrations on social media.
Microsoft wrote just before midday, “We’ve completed re-routing traffic and our monitoring indicates that Teams start up and sign in have mostly recovered. We’ll continue working until the service has fully recovered.”
Microsoft's cloud platform, Azure, had a worldwide outage last month, impacting not just Azure but also services like Teams and Outlook. Microsoft Teams had a similar outage in July of last year.
In October of 2022, Meta had a worldwide outage that knocked Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp down for almost six hours. A DNS malfunction was identified as the cause of the disruption.
