User impact: Users' contact lists are duplicated.
More info: This issue only impacts users who synced their personal account device contacts with Microsoft Teams. New syncs are no longer resulting in duplicate contacts since we've implemented the long-term fix.
To remove the duplicate contacts created by this issue prior to the completion of our long-term cleanup process, affected users can use the workaround described here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/workaround-for-outlookcom-users-experiencing/d58d75c2-76a9-4176-b907-333ddfa44952
We'd like to get your feedback on the workaround we provided. From a non-mobile device, please rate this post and submit it in the textbox.
Current status: We're continuing to work on the cleaning up process for the remaining duplicate contacts. Affected users can manually remove the duplicate contacts before our clean up process is complete by following the instructions in the above workaround article link.
Start time: Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at 12:00 PM UTC
Estimated time to resolve: We anticipate all of the duplicate contacts will be removed by the end of June 2023.

About Our Microsoft 365 Skype Status Page Integration

Microsoft 365 Skype is a Productivity solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since July 2018. Over the past almost 5 years, we have collected data on on more than 363 outages that affected Microsoft 365 Skype users. When Microsoft 365 Skype publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 9 components using 2 different statuses: up and warn which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 2,100 StatusGator users monitor Microsoft 365 Skype to get notified when it's down or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular productivity services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 104,500 notifications to our users about Microsoft 365 Skype incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

Currently, down notifications are not supported by the Microsoft 365 Skype status page. That means all notifications from their page will show in the warn state. If you need better differentiation, please hi@statusgator.com get in touch.

Warn notifications are used when Microsoft 365 Skype is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Microsoft 365 Skype does not post separate notifications for planned maintenance work so we are unable to send notifications when maintenance windows begin. If you need Microsoft 365 Skype maintenance notifications, please email us.

Microsoft 365 Skype does not publish a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page at this time. If they do, be sure to let us know and we'll aggregate Microsoft 365 Skype maintenance events into your unified calendar.

When Microsoft 365 Skype posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

When Microsoft 365 Skype has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

Because Microsoft 365 Skype has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
