Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft services including Outlook, Teams and Copilot were hit by an outage on 12 November, with users reporting problems accessing essential work tools.
Why it mattersZDNET says outage reports peaked at nearly 83,000 for Outlook before falling, while reports for Teams and Copilot also declined. Microsoft said it had paused deployments and was restarting affected servers; it attributed the strain to servers unexpectedly becoming unavailable, not a surge in traffic. The incident is a timely reminder that a cloud outage can take several familiar tools down together.
Discuss: Has Microsoft’s recovery response been convincing enough, or should businesses be planning for a longer spell without these services?
