– Users logging in or unlocking their devices after some time may see missing messages.

– Users may fail to load messages in channels and chats

– Some messages may experience delays being sent

– Call Recordings might take longer to appear in user’s OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online

Current status: Our monitoring systems alerted us to an issue where users may experience various impact scenarios in Microsoft Teams, outlined in the More info section above. We’ve identified that a portion of the Microsoft Teams service is experiencing a networking issue. We’ve completed a failover in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region and telemetry is showing improvement. We’re continuing work to failover service traffic in all affected regions to remediate impact.
