Microsoft Teams experienced an outage on Monday after Microsoft failed to renew its authentication certificate. The tool was down for about three hours while Microsoft investigated and updated the certificate, according to the company’s Twitter account. By noon ET, the service was working for most users.
“We’ve addressed an access issue that some customers may have experienced, and service is fully restored,” a Microsoft spokesperson told CNET in an email Monday.
We’re investigating an issue where users may be unable to access Microsoft Teams. We’re reviewing systems data to determine the cause of the issue. More information can be found in the Admin center under TM202916
