GoKawiilMicrosoft 365 outage hits Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Copilot
Microsoft confirmed an outage affecting multiple Microsoft 365 services this afternoon, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, Copilot 365 and Defender XDR. The company's support account acknowledged the issue, and both business/enterprise customers and individual users reported being affected, with some unable to even load the service status page.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Microsoft said the affected infrastructure is experiencing elevated load across multiple regions, which suggests the problem may stem from capacity or traffic issues rather than a single isolated bug. Because so many core productivity tools run through Microsoft 365, an outage like this can disrupt email, meetings and document access for businesses worldwide until Microsoft restores or reroutes the affected infrastructure.
