A widespread outage that began on Thursday has disrupted Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services, prompting the company to intensify recovery efforts.
Microsoft said it is actively working to restore access to Outlook and other affected Microsoft 365 applications after a major outage that started on Thursday, November 12, in the United States and spread to users worldwide. The disruption has also impacted certain functions of Teams and the Copilot feature, leaving many users unable to access their email and collaboration tools.
The outage has persisted for several hours, and while earlier updates indicated some progress, the company reported that recent recovery attempts have not achieved the expected results. Microsoft is continuing to address the issue and provides live updates on its recovery status.
Users are advised to monitor official channels for further information as the company works to fully restore service.
