What’s happening

Microsoft is dealing with a global outage of Microsoft 365. It started early this morning, Australian Eastern Daylight Time. The services affected include:

  • Outlook and Exchange email
  • Teams
  • SharePoint and OneDrive
  • Copilot
  • Some security and management tools

Microsoft says the cause is a problem with its own servers. It has started bringing services back online, but some users may still see slow performance, sign-in errors or delayed email.

Do I need to do anything?

No. This is a Microsoft issue, not a problem with your devices, network or account settings. Please don’t reset passwords or reinstall Office. That won’t help, and it may cause other problems once service is restored.

In the meantime

  • Outlook on your computer may still show your existing email, and messages you write will send automatically once the service is back.
  • For anything urgent, use phone or SMS.
  • Delayed emails should arrive on their own once Microsoft finishes its recovery. You shouldn’t need to resend them.
