Microsoft has said it is "deeply sorry" for the service outage to its products, including Outlook and Teams, which has caused disruption around the world.

Services were broadly recovering by Friday afternoon, nearly 24 hours after issues first began, as Microsoft said it was making "encouraging progress" and email queues were nearing normal levels.
