Affected customers have reported a myriad of issues ranging from login challenges and frozen loading screens to missing chat history and images not displaying. Teams meetings are also witnessing participants stranded in waiting rooms.

Users encountering the outage are greeted with cryptic errors such as “We’ve run into a server error,” which not only leaves some functions impaired but also urges continued app usage.
