The number of users at Microsoft Teams have grown rapidly in the past week. The sudden rush partially overloads the servers and requires restrictions.
Microsoft limits the integration of Onenote in teams. These and other restrictions are intended to relieve the servers and ensure that the service runs stably despite the currently large number of accesses. This emerges from a message from the Microsoft Message Center, which a user in one Blog entry shared Has.
Rush for teams overloaded servers
With the move to the home office, many companies have apparently recently switched to communication via the business manager. Within a week, teams were around twelve million Users have grown.
This presents the teams servers with new challenges. In the past week, they were so overloaded that many users could not log in at times and messages that were sent were not delivered.
First restrictions last week
Microsoft already drew its first conclusions from this last week and throttled certain Office 365 services. The image resolution in video conferences was reduced and teams checked less frequently whether conversation partners are currently writing something or whether users are active, how Golem reports.
Onenote is set to read mode
These measures are now supplemented by further restrictions. These are necessary to ensure the continuity of the services, it says in the message in the Microsoft Message Center. Onenote is switched to read mode – as a temporary solution, Microsoft recommends switching to the web version. File attachments cannot be larger than 100 MB.
In addition, the video quality is also throttled with Sharepoint and Microsoft Stream. The changes are only temporary, Microsoft writes.
