Microsoft apologized Saturday after a global service outage took Teams, Outlook and Copilot offline in at least 70 countries, disrupting access for millions of users.

Microsoft attributed the disruption to an earlier network capacity upgrade. It said neither a cyberattack nor AI agents caused the outage.

The company said recovery was progressing and that it was working to resolve the disruption’s remaining effects.
