Microsoft 365 service disruption – Thursday, November 12, 2026
Since about 11:15 a.m. today, some users have been unable to connect to Microsoft 365 services, or are finding them slow. Affected services include Outlook/email, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Pages may load slowly, load only partly or show connection errors.
This is a global Microsoft outage affecting organizations around the world. It is not a problem with your computer or account. Microsoft is working to restore service but has not yet given an estimated time for a fix.
What you can do:
• No need to reset your password, reinstall Office or submit a ticket. These steps won't help.
• Save your work often. If you are editing a file in SharePoint or OneDrive, keep a local copy until service is stable.
• Email sent during the outage may be delayed. If a message is time-sensitive, follow up once service returns.
For the latest updates, check the U of T System Status page: systemstatus.utoronto.ca
We'll share an update when service is restored. Thank you for your patience.
