Microsoft said it was working to limit the effects of a worldwide outage that disrupted Outlook, Teams and Copilot, leaving tens of thousands of users unable to access email, according to a report published by Nieuws.nl on Friday.
The company attributed the disruption to “elevated load” on its infrastructure and said measures taken so far had not delivered the expected fix. The outage lasted through much of the US working day, the report said.
Downdetector, which tracks user reports, recorded disruption across 74 countries and territories within an hour. Microsoft products are widely used by businesses, governments and educational institutions.
The disruption follows connectivity problems affecting Teams, Outlook and Copilot reported the previous day. Microsoft’s earlier outage was also linked by the company to strain on its infrastructure after servers unexpectedly became unavailable.
