Live Tech Status

Is Microsoft 365 Down?
Live Status for Your Business Apps

We check the official status pages for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack and other tools businesses rely on every 5 minutes, and explain any problem in plain English.

Checking live status…

Status comes from each provider's official status page or service health feed. Plain-English summaries are written automatically from those official notices. Reasonable Tech Solutions is not affiliated with these companies.

Outage or just you?

Everything Shows Green but It Still Isn't Working?

If the board above shows no issue, the problem is probably closer to home. Before you lose the afternoon:

  • Try another device or app, such as Outlook on the web instead of the desktop app.
  • Check whether other websites load, which rules out an internet outage.
  • Sign out and back in, or restart the app.
  • Ask a coworker whether it's working for them.

Still stuck? Our Towson helpdesk can usually tell in a few minutes whether it's the vendor, your network or one computer.

During an outage

Keep Your Team Working, and Safe

  • Check the official notice before changing anything. Resetting passwords or reinstalling apps won't fix a vendor outage.
  • Watch for fake "outage" emails. Scammers send messages that look like Microsoft or Google during real outages, asking you to "re-verify" your account. Don't click them.
  • Use the workaround the vendor gives, if there is one. We show it on the board above.
  • Tell customers if email is delayed, so nobody assumes they're being ignored.

Tech Status FAQ

Is Outlook down right now?

The live board at the top of this page shows Microsoft's current status for Outlook and Exchange email, updated about every 5 minutes. If it shows an issue, Microsoft is aware of it and working on a fix. If it shows everything running normally, the problem is more likely your device, network or account.

Where does this information come from?

Directly from each provider: Microsoft's service health feed for Microsoft 365, and the official status pages for Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Dropbox, QuickBooks and Cloudflare. We turn the official notice into a short plain-English summary and link to the original.

What should my business do during a Microsoft 365 outage?

Confirm the outage on the official notice, use any workaround Microsoft provides, let customers know if email is delayed, and be extra careful with emails asking you to sign in or "verify" your account. Scammers take advantage of real outages.
