Work chat gone quiet? Microsoft Teams down for thousands of users - National | Globalnews.ca::Microsoft’s Teams app services were down for thousands of users on Friday, according to the outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
It kinda happened for us, sometime messages wouldn’t send for an hour, and then a chat would just re-order all the messages so that nothing made sense any more.
Same, I first noticed it when I saw a notification for a message from our Dept head and was like, “Oh shit, what do they need?” Then I looked in Teams and it was crickets and I’m wondering if I just imagined that. We had a super disjointed conversation thread and eventually I just turned off Teams because it was getting super aggravating and we had to switch to email.
Sent a relatively new and somewhat nervous co-worker a “grandpasimpsonleave.gif” responding to the 8 billionth mutual emergency of the day followed immediately by “I kid, I kid, we’ll fix it! 😉 [Relevant follow up question]?”
Guess which of those two messages was the last one unaffected by the outage? Yep. I got to watch her devolve into a panic as her messages reached me and my responses didn’t get sent to her, and THEN delivered in the worst order/selection possible. Felt like the more critical the message, the less likely to send.
And! She’s on the other side of the continent and all her location’s phones are through teams also! And it was time sensitive.
Rough Friday.
