A worldwide Microsoft Teams outage is blocking users from logging into their accounts, and preventing those already logged in from sending and receiving messages.
The Microsoft 365 Service health status page is currently directing customers to the Microsoft 365 Status Twitter account for more details regarding this widespread incident.
"Users able to access Microsoft Teams may experience degraded performance with multiple features," Microsoft added.
After performing mitigation actions, Microsoft is already seeing signs of recovery and advises users still experiencing Teams performance issues to restart their clients.
Microsoft Teams was hit by yet another large-scale outage in March after multiple Microsoft services including Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Forms, Xbox Live, and Yammer were knocked down following widespread Azure Active Directory login issues.
Update: Microsoft says all Teams features are now working as expected.
