O365 - Email/Outlook: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=6 2026-05-11 12:27:52 Some users may be unable to view on-premises or cross-tenant free/busy availability when scheduling meetings
User impact: Users may be unable to view on-premises or cross-tenant free/busy availability when scheduling meetings.
More info: Cross-tenant or on-premises free/busy lookups via the Outlook Scheduling Assistant fail for attendees in a specific domain. As a result, availability consistently appears as “Unknown,” preventing effective meeting scheduling.
Current status: We've isolated that impact is not limited to users in the Asia Pacific region, and we've updated the "Scope of impact" field of our communications to reflect this. We're working with a subset of affected users to schedule a debugging session to collect additional logging during a reproduction of impact to assist with furthering our root cause analysis.
Scope of impact: Impact is specific to some users attempting to view free/busy availability. This information may be updated as our investigation continues.
O365 - Teams: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=39 2026-05-11 09:27:30 Users may see incorrect characters in incoming Microsoft Teams call notifications when display names contain diacritics
User impact: Users may see incorrect characters in incoming Microsoft Teams call notifications when display names contain diacritics.
More info: Users may see incorrect or corrupted characters in incoming Microsoft Teams call notification banners when display names contain European diacritical characters (e.g. ä, é, ü), resulting in names appearing with placeholder symbols.
Current status: We’re continuing to validate the code fix to confirm its effectiveness before deploying it to the affected infrastructure. We'll share a deployment timeline once the validation is complete.
Scope of impact: Impact is specific to some users receiving inbound Microsoft Teams calls notifications when display names contain diacritics.

General IT Services: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=8 2026-05-08 08:14:20 Title: Users may be unable to adjust their camera brightness in Teams settings
User impact: Users may have been unable to adjust their camera brightness in Microsoft Teams settings.
More info: When attempting to adjust camera brightness, users may have received a message stating "Adjust brightness is unavailable. Check your network connection, or contact your IT admin."
Affected users will need to upgrade to Teams build version 26093.415.4620.1935 for Windows clients and version 26093.311.4599.3126 for Mac clients in order to fully remediate impact.
Final status: We've confirmed that the builds have deployed to the remaining affected users and the impact is remediated.
Scope of impact: This issue may have affected any user attempting to adjust their camera brightness in Microsoft Teams settings.
Start time: Friday, February 27, 2026, at 4:37 AM UTC
End time: Thursday, May 07, 2026, at 6:38 PM UTC
Root cause: The ability to adjust camera brightness was no longer operable due to an unrelated issue where crashes in Teams meetings were occurring due to a code issue relating to the setting, which resulted in impact.
Next steps: We're reviewing our code testing and validation procedures to identify and prevent similar issues with crashes in Teams meetings that cause the ability to adjust camera brightness to no longer be operable, which will help us prevent similar impact from occurring in the future.
This is the final update for the event.

Title: Some users may be unable to move channels into folders, such as favorites, or sections within Microsoft Teams
User impact: Users may have been unable to move channels into folders, such as favorites, or sections within Microsoft Teams.
More info: Affected users may have seen channels become hidden when attempting to move them into folders or sections.
To unhide affected channels, users could navigate to Teams, See all channels, find the hidden channel, and select 'Show'. If another attempt was made to move the channel into a folder or section, it may have become hidden again.
Final status: We've completed our rollout of the secondary fix to address the offending code change and have validated from internal testing that our fix successfully remediates impact.
Scope of impact: Some users attempting to move channels into folders or sections within Microsoft Teams may have been impacted.
O365 - Teams: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=39 2026-04-21 15:09:01 Title: Users may see a greyed out 'hold' button in 1:1 calls using the Microsoft Teams desktop and web clients
User impact: Users may have seen a greyed out 'hold' button in 1:1 calls using the Microsoft Teams desktop and web clients.
More info: Impact was specific to users that have already placed a call on 'hold' and 'resumed' that call, as subsequent hold attempts may have failed.
Final status: We've confirmed that the fix has completed deploying to all environments and validated that this issue has been remediated via service telemetry.
Scope of impact: Any user attempting to place a call on hold for a second time from the Microsoft Teams desktop or web clients may have been affected.
Root cause: A regression was introduced within a recent Microsoft Teams client update and was resulting in impact.
Next steps:
- We're continuing our analysis of the impacting code change to better understand the underlying cause of impact and prevent similar regressions in the future.
This is the final update for the event.
O365 - Email/Outlook: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=6 2026-04-21 13:33:06 Title: Users may be unable to access their mailboxes with Outlook on the web and the new Outlook desktop client
User impact: Users may have been unable to access their mailboxes with Outlook on the web and the new Outlook desktop client.
More info: While we were focused on remediation, users that had access to the classic Outlook desktop or Outlook mobile apps could have used them to circumvent the impact.
Final status: We've monitored the affected environment and confirmed that our code regression fix has remediated the impact.
Scope of impact: Users located in France and Canada that attempted to access their mailboxes from Outlook on the web and the new Outlook desktop client may have been impacted.
Root cause: A subset of control plane service infrastructure that helps monitor and secure multiple Outlook service connections was performing below our manageable service performance thresholds due to a code regression. This issue was preventing users from accessing their mailboxes from Outlook on the web and the new Outlook desktop client.
Next steps:
- We're reviewing and improving our code update validation procedure to detect and prevent similar issues before they cause impact in the future.
This is the final update for the event.
O365 - Teams: Disruption https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=39 2026-04-21 07:04:36 Users may be unable to launch the Microsoft Teams desktop client. When attempting to launch the Microsoft Teams desktop clients for Windows or Mac, users become stuck on the loading screen and receive the following error message: "We're having trouble loading your message.

More info: Specifically, only the first screen sharing session works; subsequent screen-sharing attempts may not be visible.

While we're working to remediate this issue, affected users can still perform screen sharing by:
- Using the desktop or mobile apps
- Adding another user to the call
- Ending and restarting the call

Current status: We're in the process of analyzing gathered logs and service telemetry to better understand the impact scenario and develop a remediation strategy.
Scope of impact: Any user initiating a second screen sharing session within a 1:1 call using the Teams web client may be affected.
