Microsoft is scrambling to fix a sweeping global outage that has knocked out Teams, Outlook and its Copilot AI software, leaving users stranded across 74 countries.
The disruption stems from connectivity problems rippling through the company's services, cutting people off from the tools millions rely on for email, meetings and day to day work.
Teams, the collaboration platform central to remote offices worldwide, is among the hardest hit, while Outlook outages have left users unable to send or receive messages.
Copilot, Microsoft's flagship AI assistant woven into its software suite, has also gone dark, exposing how deeply artificial intelligence is now embedded in everyday productivity.
Engineers are working to restore service, though a clear picture of the cause and a firm timeline for recovery remain elusive as the disruption continues to spread.
