Microsoft’s cloud services have been experiencing global outages since Thursday evening, November 12, which are continuing on Friday, November 13, 2026. These issues may also affect the daily lives of Diak students and staff.
Microsoft 365 services are currently experiencing a widespread global outage. The issues are particularly evident in difficulties sending and receiving emails in Outlook. In addition, problems have been reported with the functionality and sign-in process for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Office applications.
Microsoft is investigating the situation and taking corrective measures to balance server capacity and network load.
Guidelines for Students and Staff:
- Email and Teams: If an Outlook email or Teams meeting doesn’t open in the desktop app, try accessing the services through a web browser (portal.office.com) or refresh the page.
- Classes and Meetings: If you are unable to join a remote lecture or meeting due to Teams outages, the organizers will provide information on alternative methods whenever possible (e.g., Zoom or a phone call).
- Notice: We are monitoring the situation and will update this notice once Microsoft announces that the outage has ended.
We are investigating the situation and will update this news story next at 4:00 p.m. today, Friday, November 13, 2026, unless the situation is resolved before then.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this disruption.
