The outage hit Outlook particularly hard, with users reporting significant delays and an inability to send or receive messages. By approximately 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, tracking website Downdetector registered more than 120,000 reports from individuals experiencing issues accessing the email platform. Thousands of additional reports flagged problems with workplace messaging platform Microsoft Teams, the artificial intelligence tool Copilot, and broader Microsoft 365 services.

Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, confirmed it was monitoring technical problems that prevented users from reaching Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection channels in the Americas.

The company stated that part of its infrastructure was experiencing elevated load, which it cited as the probable cause for the widespread connectivity failures. Technicians began redistributing digital traffic across systems to help balance network demand and resolve the bottlenecks.

Earlier in the day, Microsoft reported that it had resolved earlier service problems involving Microsoft Teams in North America. However, reports of connectivity issues on Teams and other core business applications continued to emerge as the day progressed.

Adeegyada kala duwan ee shirkadda weyn ee Microsoft ayaa Khamiistii, 12 November 2026, waxaa ku yimid cilad baahsan oo saameysay barnaamijyada muhiimka ah sida Outlook, Microsoft Teams, aaladda sirdoonka macmalka ah ee Copilot, iyo guud ahaan adeegyada Microsoft 365.

Barta Downdetector, oo dabagasha cilladaha ku yimaada adeegyada tignoolajiyada, ayaa xaqiijisay in abbaare 1:30 p.m. xilliga Bariga (ET) ay in ka badan 120,000 oo qof soo sheegeen dhibaatooyin ka haysta gelitaanka Outlook. Macaamiil badan ayaa sheegay inaysan awoodin inay diraan ama helaan fariimaha email-ka, halka qaar kalena ay la kulmeen dib-u-dhac weyn. Sidoo kale, kumannaan qof ayaa soo sheegay cillado la xiriira adeegga wada-xiriirka shaqada ee Teams iyo nidaamka Copilot.

Shirkadda Microsoft, oo xarunteedu tahay magaalada Redmond, Washington, ayaa warbixin ay soo saartay ku sheegtay inay la socoto dhibaatooyinka haysta isticmaalayaasha isku dayaya inay galaan nidaamka fariimaha ee Exchange Online ee qaaradda Ameerika.

Microsoft waxay caddeysay in qayb ka mid ah kaabayaasheeda tignoolajiyada uu soo food saaray culeys aad u sarreeya, kaas oo loo arko inuu sabab u yahay ciladaha isku-xirka. Shirkaddu waxay sheegtay inay billowday dib-u-qaybinta culeyska xogta si loo dheellitiro nidaamka loona soo celiyo adeegyada.

Inkasta oo ay shirkaddu subaxnimadii hore sheegtay inay si guul leh u xallisay dhibaatooyin saameeyay adeegga Microsoft Teams ee Waqooyiga Ameerika, haddana macaamiil badan ayaa gelinkii dambe ee maalintaas sii waday inay la kulmaan cilado xagga ku-xirnaanta ah.
