Microsoft Teams is a platform created by Microsoft for the purpose of proprietary business communications. It is also part of the Office 365 family of products.
Teams are usually used for office meetings and mostly for business purposes. It competes with similar apps namely Slack and Skype.
Due to the pandemic, Virtual meeting got popular and apps like Teams and Slack got a big boost in users. As of 2021, teams have about 250 million monthly users.
On Wednesday. Teams were down and users reported issues and outages.
Microsoft Teams was not working for many users. The user checks the outage on a website called Downdetector.com.
Downdetector is a website which helps in determining if the website is working properly or not.
Thousands of users logged on to Downdetector.com to check Team’s app on the website and they found that the website was down and not working.
Microsoft Twitted that they have received many reports from the users and they will investigate the issue and further update the situation of the users.
After some investigation, Microsoft said that they have determined the issue and it is determined that the issue lies in the connection to an internal storage service.
Microsoft has updated users that they will be directly the users to a healthy storage service to mitigate the impact on users.
Microsoft also reassured me that the team should be working properly now. The users should be able to work properly in the team and shouldn’t be having any issues.
Servers and service issue has been a problem for many big technology companies in recent past years.
