Microsoft Outage: Outlook, 365, Teams, Copilot and more apps down, here is what the company said

Microsoft Down: Microsoft is facing a major outage across its services and apps such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Store, and its AI assistant, Microsoft Copilot. The outage was first reported at around 11:30 PM on November 12 and seems to continue across countries such as India and the United States. According to Downdetector, over 1,700 reports of the outage have been reported in India this morning, followed by Microsoft 365 at around 500. In the US, the outage peaked last night with over 1.31 lakh reports of issues in Outlook.

The Windows maker has acknowledged the issue in a post on X (formerly Twitter) last night. In a latest series of updates, the company said: "We’ve monitored the status of the changes applied to improve serviceability and confirmed they're not taking as expected. We’re identifying alternate workstreams that can be applied to increase capacity in the face of sustained traffic management imbalances."
