A cloud-based service included in Microsoft 365, delivering scalable messaging and collaboration features with simplified management and automatic updates.
No public restoration ETA is currently available; your Microsoft 365 administrator should check the tenant-specific incident in Microsoft 365 admin center → Health → Service health for Microsoft’s latest Outlook, Exchange Online, and Copilot update.
Check the current incident and ETA
- Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with an administrator account.
- Go to Health → Service health.
- Under Active issues Microsoft is working on, open any incident affecting:
- Exchange Online
- Outlook on the web
- Office on the web
- Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Review Status, User impact, Last updated, and All updates. If Microsoft has provided an estimated restoration time, it will appear in that incident’s updates. Microsoft posts investigation, mitigation, and resolution progress there.^1^
The Service Support admin and Helpdesk admin roles can also view Service health; Global Administrator access is not required.^1^
If the admin center is also unresponsive
Use Microsoft’s public Microsoft service health status page. It provides public availability updates, although tenant-specific incident details and restoration estimates may only appear in the authenticated admin center.^2^
Because Outlook, Copilot, and online pages are failing together, avoid client reinstalls or profile changes until Service health shows no relevant incident. If no matching issue appears, an administrator can select Report an issue on the Service health page; Microsoft then compares the report with telemetry and reports from other organizations.^1^
