Microsoft said it鈥檚 seeing some improvement to problems with its online services including the Teams messaging platform and Outlook email system after users around the world reported outages Wednesday.

In a status update, the tech company reported 鈥渟ervice degradation鈥� for a number of its Microsoft 365 services.

Thousands of users reported problems with Teams, Outlook, the Azure cloud computing service and XBox Live online gaming service early Wednesday on the Downdetector website, which tracks outage reports. Many users also took to social media to complain that services were down.

By later in the morning, Downdetector showed the number of reports had dropped considerably.

鈥淲e鈥檙e continuing to monitor the recovery across the service and some customers are reporting mitigation,鈥� the Microsoft 365 Status Twitter account said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e also connecting the service to additional infrastructure to expedite the recovery process.鈥�

It tweeted earlier that it had 鈥渋solated the problem to a networking configuration issue鈥� and that a network change suspected to be causing the problem was rolled back.

It comes after Microsoft reported Tuesday that its quarterly profit fell 12%, reflecting economic uncertainty that the company said led to its decision this month to cut 10,000 workers.
