Wishful thinking: May this outage be perpetual and signal the demise of the enshittification of messaging platforms like teams.
You still are going to have to use them at work, so be careful with your wishes.
Microsoft Teams outage causes connection issues, message delays

Re: Microsoft Teams outage causes connection issues, message delays
#32What 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.
People seem much harsher on Slack, for some reason. Sometimes being the better product just means people notice when it's broken.

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.
Logging into two Teams accounts is always hilarious.

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 ;)
Yeah, it's free. Somehow that's competitive, even though it forced Slack to sell up, but iPhone having a 20% global smartphone market share is anticompetitive.

Teams is always pretty bad, I noticed slightly worse service/message duplication/call drops today.
If it weren't for MS being a monopoly I doubt we'd use it

#36I honestly though this was all normal. Teams works great when it's working.

#37I really, really, really dislike using Teams. Sometimes I think it's just a cruel joke that Microsoft is playing on us.

#38What'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.
I've found the 'Health > Dashboard' page on the admin portal to be the most reliable place to check for incidents: https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home?#/healthovervie...

You won’t see “CxO customer tee-times impacted” on that list…

Personally, I just expect Teams to be janky. At least where I work, I don't think that a day goes by that it doesn't glitch out in one way or another.
Yeah, I noticed Teams messages being out of order (and being re-incorrectly-ordered multiple times) this morning and didn't think anything of it. I hadn't seen that particular bug before but it didn't stand out from the normal background jank.

#40For like 2 days a while back I was able to schedule sending messages in Teams, is that a feature controlled by admins or something?
