So nothing out of the ordinary, then.

No one noticing it is down because it usually isn't working anyways.

It's always interesting to hear others experiences. I've used Teams for 4+ years now with zero issues until this morning. I'm only mad in that I tried troubleshooting my PC and network connection for far too long before seeing this thread.

What's the correct status page to check? I would have assumed this: https://status.office365.com/ but it shows nothing useful. https://portal.office.com/servicestatus At least this one shows there's an issue.

That page indicates that "Teams (Consumer)" is having an issue, but my enterprise version is also fubar'd. Messages are coming through, but with a 30 minute delay. A person's status is not realtime.

Weirdly, I am unable to hide an entire conversation, which is something I didn't think would require a round trip to the backend.

I had a new one this week

every time someone tries screensharing to me the call hangs up and I get "Uh oh, something went wrong!"

yeah something went wrong, someone decided to pay for Teams

pretty sure you're wrong, I think Teams gets bundled, no one actually pays for it ;)

Same here, hp switched to Teams a while back and it's been working great until today. Also think we should have gotten an alert earlier. I switched to my phone app, that kept working for a bit but now it's total blackout.

Some sort of banner at the top of Teams indicating there is ongoing issues would be nice.

What I find most interesting about this is how long it took to see reporting on this issue, unlike what I remember the reporting on Slack being down 5 or 6 years ago that I could fairly reliably find somewhere that said it was down. Has how we used these tools just changed? They are so janky in the first place that them being "down" is questionably different? Just seems weird.

I think it was because it was a widespread problem or did not appear that way. Teams for our company were mostly working.

I think it was because most people are used to Teams being an application with a poor experience, so a widespread degradation in service just looks like what people normally expect from Teams.

I know in the orgs that I work with, everyone today blamed any problems on Teams being a crappy application. No one thought twice about it being something more than that.
