Microsoft services including Outlook, Teams suffer outage; netizens indulge in meme fest
Microsoft Corp said that it was investigating an outage affecting hundreds of users in the UAE and thousands more across the globe. The outage created a lot of troubles for users, and most of them experienced problems with Teams and Outlook.
Though the company didn't disclose exactly how many users were affected by this disruption, reportedly data from outage tracking website Downdetector showed that there were more than 3,900 incidents in India and over 900 in Japan. Similarly, over 500 such incidents have been reported in the UAE.
Because both Outlook and Teams were severely impacted, netizens took to social media to express their rage through memes. Here are some reactions:
