Service Degradation

More info: In addition, users are unable to create notebooks in OneNote Class Notebook.
Current status: The service provider's review of the telemetry indicates that a partner service that OneNote relies on for Create and Publish Assignment operations is degraded, causing failures for some users. They anticipate that the repairs to the partner service will take some time to complete. In the meantime, they're manually running a fix operation to restore the Create and Publish Assignment functionality to the impacted infrastructure. Affected users may see the impact remediate as the fix operation propagates over time.

Some users may be unexpectedly disconnected when accessing multiple M365 services
Service Restored

More info: Affected M365 services included but may not have been limited to the following:
- Teams
- Outlook
Final status: After analyzing the spike in user reports for affected M365 services, the service provider has determined that a portion of their M365 network infrastructure, responsible for facilitating access to connected services, was operating in an unhealthy state and unable to process user requests effectively. They've removed the offending infrastructure from our service rotation, and after a period of monitoring service health telemetry, they've confirmed users can connect to M365 services as expected.

Affected users can restart the impacted Outlook client to have the time indicator sync and reflect accurately.
Current status: The service provider has received reports of an issue in which some users may see the time indicator on their calendars isn't reflecting accurately or updating on the new Outlook desktop experience and Outlook on the web. They suspect a recent Microsoft Edge update may have introduced a compatibility issue that's preventing the time indicator from updating and reflecting properly. They've developed a code change that they're deploying to their internal testing environment for validations to ensure it remediates impact before they deploy it to a broader scale.

Some users may see a blank screen during meetings and calls from the Teams desktop version
Service Degradation

More info: This issue is limited to users who are on devices that leverage certain versions of Intel driver 32.0.101.69xx (including but not limited to, 32.0.101.6913, 32.0.101.6987, and 32.0.101.6989). Impacted users may see that Teams freezes for some time, and then it automatically recovers. For those that need immediate remediation, the service provider's telemetry indicates that version 32.0.101.6790 of the Intel driver reproduces this issue the least.
Affected users can use the Teams web app as a workaround until this issue is addressed.

Current status: The service provider is continuing to wait for confirmation to see if reverting to the last known healthy Teams desktop has resolved the isolated version driver issue. This evaluation will help determine if the reversion is a viable solution for mitigating impact across all affected users. Additionally, they've requested diagnostic logs from selected users to aid in identifying the root cause and developing a permanent fix.
O365 - Teams: Disruption https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=39 2025-08-22 10:36:05 TEAMS NOTICE

More info: The issue primarily affects the Teams desktop client. Users that have access to the Teams web client can use this to bypass the impact.
Additionally, users can temporarily work around the issue by clearing the cache in the desktop client.
Some users have reported that as a result of this impact, they can no longer access Teams channels due to the icon not being present in the left panel.

Current status: The service provider's log review has further identified that impact occurs when the code calls to the storage providing historical information and receives an invalid response. They're continuing to investigate why this invalid response is returned to determine potential remediation options.
O365 - Teams: Disruption https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=39 2025-08-22 10:54:34 TEAMS NOTICE

Current status: The service provider received reports of an issue where users on the New Outlook desktop experience may be unable to open PDF attachments. They confirmed that some portions of a recent service update, intended to implement a new PDF viewer, aren't compatible with the offline caching of attachments. They've developed a fix to bypass this caching and initiated the deployment to resolve this issue.

Title: Users can't see presence status or transfer calls from contact records using the new Teams transfer experience

User impact: Users can't see presence status or transfer calls from contact records using the new Teams transfer experience

More info: Affected users are unable to view the presence status of transfer targets and may also be unable to transfer calls from contact records when using the new transfer experience in the Microsoft Teams desktop client.

Current status: We’ve completed validating the previously mentioned code fix, and we’re preparing to initiate deployment to the impacted service environment. We’ll provide a timeline for full deployment and remediation as it becomes available.
Scope of impact: Users may be unable to view presence status or transfer calls from contact records when using the new Teams desktop transfer experience.

Start time: Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 12:00 AM UTC

Root cause: A recent change intended to enhance the transfer menu with Intelligent Call Context and Topic features resulted in a regression in the Teams desktop client, causing presence status to no longer display for transfer targets and preventing call transfers from contact records.
