Microsoft 365 Outage: Outlook, Teams and Other Services Affected

If Outlook cannot connect or Microsoft services are not responding as expected, this may be related to the current Microsoft 365 outage. Disruptions have been occurring since 12 November 2026, potentially affecting Exchange Online and Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Copilot. Not all customers and features are affected equally.

Our Practical Tip: Use Outlook on the Web

We have found that email access often works through Outlook on the web, even when the installed Outlook application is experiencing problems. Open outlook.office.com and sign in with your usual work account.

This may help you continue working during the outage. However, availability is not guaranteed, as web access may also be affected depending on your environment.

What You Should Do Now

Avoid rushing into reinstallations or deleting and recreating your Outlook profile. First, check whether the issues you are experiencing are related to the Microsoft outage. You can find the latest information on the official Microsoft service status page.
