"We've received complaints of people being unable to access or utilise Microsoft Teams. We're looking into the problem," initially, the organisation stated. However, Microsoft later tweeted, "We've established that a recent deployment featured a failed link to an internal storage service, resulting in impact. To reduce the effect, we are striving to redirect traffic to a healthy service."
