"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."

It is still unknown how long the outage will endure, as people continue to report problems on Twitter and other social media sites. The Downdetector live outage map reveals that the outage is worldwide and not limited to a single location.
