Microsoft admits Teams is shutting down
The official Microsoft 365 on X account admitted that Teams was experiencing issues around 1:45 p.m. “We are investigating an issue affecting various features of Microsoft Teams,” an excerpt from the post reads.
Half an hour later, the page posted that a network issue had been detected and a failover was being performed to “correct the impact.” Failover is basically the use of a backup server when the primary server is offline.
At 3:22 pm, Microsoft 365 Status reported that the failover for the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region was complete, and procedures were still ongoing for North America and South America.
We have completed failover in the EMEA region and service telemetry is showing some improvement. Failovers to the North and South America regions are ongoing and we continue to monitor. More information can be found in the management center under TM710344.
