Microsoft Teams hit by second outage in three days::Microsoft is investigating a second outage affecting Microsoft Teams users across North and South America in the last three days.
Didn’t they update Teams to a whole new platform recently and it turned out to just be a webpage rendered by edge?
That’s just the desktop client. They haven’t updated the mobile app and VDI versions and those were suffering problems too. It’s something on the backend.
This was last year, but they dropped electron for their in house chromium thing

So yeah, whatever this outage is has nothing to do with their webview stuff
Really? Haven’t had the chance to check it yet because IT doesn’t let our machines do the switch to the new one, but I don’t know how to feel about apps/programs doing that more and more…
I think the old one was only a “website”. The new one does feel better and faster (except, it sometimes crashes while in a meeting (lol)) But don’t know if it is “real” app or just JavaScript
Edit: if you go to Task-Manager, you see, that it is like one app and multiple „MS edge WebView2“
Mine has crashed every day during meetings now and 3 times it took the audio driver with it so I had to do a full restart before being able to re join
Yeah it’s a web app with some native tweaks for performance and local APIs

The old one and the new one are both available as a web site and a desktop app.
Azure quality. :)
That’s why I was so productive yesterday! No one was bugging me on Teams.
No wonder I got so much work done yesterday…
“We’re investigating an issue in which users may be unable to access Microsoft Teams or features within North America, Canada, and Brazil,” Microsoft said via the company’s official Microsoft 365 status account on X (formerly Twitter).
A Lovecraftian horror, that sentence.
What’s hilarious about it too is they have a teams/o365 server status site https://portal.office.com/servicestatus
But they seemingly don’t use it, because it showed everything is fine throughout the entire outage, maybe it requires Teams to update lmao
