Nov 13, 2026 · Summarized by Fundy Tech from 6 sources
The 30-second version
Microsoft is recovering a global outage that hit Outlook, Teams and Copilot. The company says it is seeing progress, but services are still not back to normal.
Key points
- Users in North America, Europe and Asia were affected.
- Microsoft says it is not aware of malicious activity.
- Some governments, businesses and hospitals reported email and service problems.
Why it matters
If your business uses Microsoft 365, email, calendars and meetings may still be unreliable. That can delay customer service, billing and internal work. Households using Outlook or Teams for school or personal communication may also see interruptions until service fully stabilises.
Who’s affected: Microsoft 365 users worldwide
What to do
- Check Microsoft 365 status updates.
- Use phone, text or backup channels for urgent messages.
- Delay non-urgent meetings and email-dependent work if possible.
