From Microsoft...

Current status: Our failover operation did not provide the immediate relief intended for end users in North and South America regions. However, we’re monitoring telemetry closely as we continue to optimize traffic patterns and apply configuration changes intended to reduce customer impact as quickly as possible. We understand the impact an issue like this can have on your organization, and we appreciate your partnership and patience as we work to remediate this issue.

Identified
Microsoft is reporting various issues with Microsoft Teams. Internal testing shows the problems are extremely noticeable on New Teams, but is affecting classic Teams too.

From Microsoft:

Title: Some users may experience multiple issues with their Microsoft Teams

User impact: Users may experience multiple issues with their Microsoft Teams.

More info: Affected scenarios include, but aren't limited to:
- Users performing a cold boot may not able to log into teams and will see an "oops" page
- Users logging in or unlocking their devices after some time may see missing messages
- Users may fail to load messages in channels and chats
- Users are unable to view or download their media (images, videos, audio, call recordings, code snippets)
- Some messages may experience delays being sent
- Call Recordings might take longer to appear in user's OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online
- Users may be unable to load previous Copilot history, or new history is not written
- Bots may be unable to download attachments
- Sending and receiving read receipt notifications may be delayed

Current status: We’ve identified that a portion of the Microsoft Teams service is experiencing a networking issue. We’re performing a failover to an alternate infrastructure to remediate impact and estimate this should take approximately an hour to complete.

Scope of impact: This issue can potentially impact any Microsoft Teams user in the scenarios outlined in the More info section.
