Microsoft 365 Forms Outage: Services Down for Thousands of Users

Microsoft 365 Forms, a popular online survey and form-building tool, has been experiencing a widespread outage, leaving thousands of users unable to access their accounts.

According to reports, the outage began in the early hours of [current date] and has continued to affect users across the globe. The issue affects users of Microsoft 365 Forms, including those using the tool to create and distribute surveys, polls, and quizzes, as well as those who use it to manage user feedback and engagement.

“We’re working to resolve an issue with Microsoft 365 Forms that’s causing it to be unavailable for some users,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to get services back up and running as soon as possible.”

Symptoms of the outage include:

• Users unable to access their Microsoft 365 Forms accounts
• Forms and surveys unable to be created or edited
• Errors messages when attempting to log in or submit forms
• Users receiving notifications that their forms are experiencing technical difficulties

The causes of the outage are still unclear, but it’s believed to be related to a combination of issues with Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and network connectivity.

Microsoft 365 Forms is a popular tool for businesses, educators, and individuals looking to gather feedback and insights from others. The loss of access to the tool has caused significant disruption to many users, with some reporting that they are unable to collect essential data or complete critical projects.

In response to the outage, Microsoft has provided a workaround for some users, allowing them to use alternative tools to collect data and feedback. However, this is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause of the issue.

Microsoft has committed to keeping users updated on the status of the outage and is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Users are encouraged to check the Microsoft 365 Forms status page for the latest information on when services are expected to be restored.

In the meantime, users are advised to explore alternative tools and methods for gathering feedback and insights, and to plan for potential backups and contingencies in case of future outages.
