A major Microsoft Teams outage in the Asia Pacific region has delayed Federal Court proceedings this morning.
“Apparently, there is a worldwide outage affecting Microsoft Teams,” SMH court reporter Kate McClymont wrote on Twitter.
“Just been informed of this by the Federal Court as we waited for more than an hour to follow the Melissa Caddick proceedings.”
We've completed re-routing traffic and our monitoring indicates that Teams start up and sign in have mostly recovered. We'll continue working until the service has fully recovered. Additional details are available through TM512596 in the admin center.
