Microsoft Teams down for thousands in India, employees celebrate with memes

Microsoft Teams down: Memes took over Twitter as Microsoft Teams and Outlook saw a disruption

Microsoft Corp said on Wednesday it was investigating an outage which left thousands of users in India unable to access the website's multiple services including Teams and Outlook.

Downdetector.com, which tracks outages through a range of sources including user reports, showed there were more than 3,700 incidents of people reporting issues with Microsoft Teams in India.

Microsoft Teams is used by hundreds of thousands of employees for office meetings – and the outage disrupted workflow on Wednesday. Many, however, appeared to be glad to find some unexpected respite from office work and took to Twitter to celebrate with memes.

Take a look at some of the funniest memes on Microsoft Teams and Outlook outage:
