O365 - Teams
2025-08-28 Status Description
09:08 AM Disruption TEAMS NOTICE
Some users may be unable to create meetings from their new calendar in Teams
Service Degradation

More info: Impact is specific to some users who have set a meeting policy where copilot is disabled and meeting recording is set to 'On', which populates the following error message:
''Couldn't create a Teams meeting. Send the invite to reserve the time and try making it a Teams meeting later."
Current status: The service provider is waiting for confirmation from some users who initially reported the issue that manually adjusting a configuration change remediates impact as an immediate fix. Additionally, they're further investigating the underlying root cause to develop a long-term widespread solution.
09:03 AM Disruption TEAMS NOTICE
Some users may be unable to access or open any Office files within Teams
Service Restored

More info: Any attempt to open, view, or access Office files within the Teams service including team channels and tabs would have failed.
While the service provider focused on remediation, affected users were able to open impacted files by selecting the alternate "Open in desktop” or “Open in browser” options as a workaround.
Impact was specific to Office documents embedded into Teams. Specifically, this affected products such as Word, Visio, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files.
Final status: The service provider has completed deployment to all affected environments and have validated through customer feedback and monitoring that the issue has been resolved.

2025-08-22 Status Description
10:44 AM Disruption TEAMS NOTICE
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.
10:34 AM Disruption TEAMS NOTICE
Users may be unable to view the combined chat and channel view in the User Interface (UI)
Service Degradation

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.
08:51 AM Disruption TEAMS NOTICE
A small number of users' Teams app may intermittently crash during calls or meetings on some iPad devices
Service Restored

Final status: The service provider has completed re-enabling the multi-window support feature in Teams for all previously affected users, and they've monitored their service health telemetry to confirm that the errors leading to crashes are resolved and the impact is remediated.
