Due to the coronavirus threat, many companies across Europe switched from home to work model, while Microsoft Teams application, which employees communicate with, experienced access problems due to intense interest and collapsed from time to time.
The Teams application, which is widely used by Microsoft and enables the communication of the employees in the businesses, now hosts a large audience. While working from home was adopted because of coronavirus secretion, Teams and similar applications became more vital for employees. In many countries, including Europe and the US, switching from home to work at the same time, an unexpected problem occurred and Teams started to have access problems.
On the other hand, Microsoft made a statement about the issue and reported to the users that it was working on the official Twitter account 'Microsoft 365 Status'. Although it is a very useful application, Teams, which frequently shows a crash problem, has had about 3 hours of access problem since it recently forgot to renew Microsoft's SSL certificates.
Microsoft Teams is not only by businesses; It is used by schools for distance education purposes, and as a result of this access problem, it also disrupts education. While the application has gained much more importance due to the coronavirus epidemic, the emergence of such technical problems pushes users to alternative tools, and Microsoft will try to solve the problems in a short time because it is aware of the sensitivity of the situation.
