Microsoft said it had restored service to all customers and regions after a global outage of its Microsoft 365 services lasted more than 24 hours. The disruption affected communications for businesses and government agencies across many countries, highlighting how dependent they are on a small number of technology providers.

The outage began at around 17:25 UTC on Thursday and affected Teams, Outlook and Copilot, preventing some users from sending emails or holding online meetings.
