Original story (from April 27) follows:

Incoming is a service outage alert!

Is Microsoft Teams down, not working or throwing a white/blank screen? Some are also reporting “Operation failed with unexpected error” or “HTTP error 401.”

Please be informed that the service is seemingly going through an outage in some regions which has got affected users to route to micro-blogging site Twitter and other online discussion platforms to highlight their concern.

Take a look at what some of those affected have to say:
