Microsoft 365 Hit By Major Outage Impacting Teams, OneDrive, & SharePoint

The company has advised administrators and users to monitor the Microsoft 365 Admin Center for ongoing updates under the issue ID MO1068615. Users across various regions are currently experiencing significant disruptions to Microsoft 365 services, including Microsoft Teams, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint Online. The Microsoft 365 suite as a whole is experiencing degraded performance, with some users unable to access core services required for daily business operations. As of the latest update at 8:19 PM IST, recovery efforts are ongoing, and Microsoft is prioritizing the restoration of Teams functionality due to its critical role in business communications. We're investigating an issue impacting multiple Microsoft 365 services and features in the North America region. Further updates are expected as Microsoft works to fully resolve the incident and restore all affected services to normal operation. Microsoft confirmed the issue through its official Microsoft 365 Status channel, assigning it the incident ID MO1068615. Microsoft engineers are actively investigating the root cause, focusing on a segment of their Azure Front Door (AFD) infrastructure that is underperforming. While Microsoft’s official Service Health Status page has not yet reflected the outage, the company has acknowledged the incident and is providing updates through its status channels. Meanwhile, we’re also taking mitigation actions to expedite recovery of the Microsoft Teams service”. As a mitigation step, traffic is being rerouted to healthier infrastructure nodes in an attempt to restore normal service levels as quickly as possible. Users are encouraged to remain patient as mitigation efforts continue and to check the Admin Center for the latest information. The disruption is impacting a broad swath of users, particularly in the North America region, but reports indicate that other areas may also be affected.
