Microsoft Teams, a tool for chat and communications, has been down across Europe after thousands of users started to use it in an attempt to work remotely amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company took to Twitter to say that they are studying the users' complaints.   

​The outage was reported following an influx of new users as thousands of workers are signing in after they were instructed to work remotely amid the new coronavirus pandemic. 

This is the second time Microsoft Teams experiences an outage this year. In February, the service was down for three hours due to the company's failure to renew a key SSL security certificate.
