Teams Disruption Hits Asia-Pacific Users Amid Ongoing Reliability Issues

A service disruption hit Microsoft Teams on August 26, 2026, affecting users in Asia-Pacific. The outage prevented customers from using multiple features, including meeting creation, joining meetings, and screen sharing.

The issue was first reported early Wednesday morning, with monitoring indicating that the problem had largely been mitigated by 7:26 a.m. IST.

According to Microsoft's update, maintenance-related activity had an unintended impact on the Teams service in Asia-Pacific, resulting in degraded functionality for users.

The disruption is seen as consequential for security and IT operations teams, who rely on Teams for incident bridges, SOC huddles, executive escalations, and tabletop exercises.
