(NewsNation) — Office workers may have a new excuse to start the weekend early: Microsoft Teams was down Friday.

Downdetector showed over 11,800 reports as of noon CT. That number went up to 13,869 at 12:22 p.m.

“We’re investigating an issue impacting multiple Microsoft Teams features,” Microsoft 365 wrote on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. “We’ve identified a networking issue impacting a portion of the Teams service and we’re performing a failover to remediate impact.”

A couple hours later, Downdetector showed less than 5,000 reports of Teams being down.

Microsoft Teams was trending on Twitter on Friday. Users said images and other content weren’t loading and duplicate messages were being sent, among other issues.

According to Downdetector, some people were also experiencing issues with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Store, though to a much lesser extent.

Teams is a platform workplaces use to meet, share files and apps.
