Is Microsoft down?
Live status for Microsoft (https://microsoft.com)
About Microsoft outages
Microsoft’s cloud estate spans Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, and Azure. Because one identity system (Entra ID) signs into all of them, authentication incidents can lock users out of email, chat, and files simultaneously.
Microsoft publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Microsoft FAQ
Why are Teams and Outlook down at the same time?
Microsoft 365 services share the Entra ID sign-in system, so an authentication incident blocks Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint together even though the apps themselves are healthy. Microsoft posts these incidents with reference codes on its status channels.
Is microsoft.com being up proof that Microsoft 365 is fine?
No — the marketing website and the Microsoft 365 service infrastructure are entirely separate. microsoft.com can load perfectly during a major 365 outage, which is why checking the dedicated service health page matters more than loading the homepage.
Is Microsoft down for everyone or just me?
We test Microsoft (https://microsoft.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Microsoft's official status channels.
