Microsoft said it is working to resolve an hourslong outage that has disrupted Outlook and Teams services.

A company spokesperson said Microsoft was working to address issues with Microsoft 365 services and to "restore services as soon as possible".

"We have no indication of a cyber attack," the spokesperson added.

According to outage tracker Downdetector, thousands of users have reported problems accessing Microsoft's email and online-meetings platform.

Microsoft first said it was investigating reports of problems encountered by users attempting to access their email at 1254 ET on Thursday.

As of 2210 ET, many of Microsoft's services remained down. The company's health status website showed "service degradation."

Microsoft said on X in its latest update that it was monitoring affected infrastructure to verify stability, which it expects to support improved availability.
