We can't open our assignments at all at the moment. First the problem was with a few students and now even teachers can't open the assignments in Teams.

Dear @KK and everyone following this thread,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. 

Thank you for reporting this, and I appreciate you taking the time to describe what you’re seeing.

Based on your description and the large number of similar reports coming in today, the Assignments section in Microsoft Teams is not loading for both teachers and students. Given that this behavior is being observed across different devices, apps, browsers, and organizations, the overall pattern strongly suggests that this is not an issue caused by individual user settings or local devices, but rather something that is currently affecting many teachers and students more broadly.

You’re definitely not alone in experiencing this. There are multiple community threads reporting the same behavior today, which you may find helpful for context: Assignments in MS Teams not loading – Microsoft Q&A

As a forum moderator, I don’t have the tools or administrative permissions needed to investigate anything on the service side. Root‑cause analysis and confirmation of service‑level incidents are handled exclusively by Microsoft’s internal engineering and product teams, and those teams don’t actively monitor Q&A threads here.

Because of that, I would strongly suggest that anyone experiencing this issue if you’re part of a school or organization with an IT administrator share this problem with them and ask that it be reported through the Microsoft 365 Service Health dashboard. That is the official channel monitored directly by the engineering teams. Reports submitted through Service Health allow Microsoft to collect diagnostic signals across tenants, correlate impact, and escalate the issue in a structured and effective way that isn’t possible through community forums alone.

I’m actively keeping an eye on this situation as well, and I’ll update this thread if any new, official information becomes available. In the meantime, if this answer helps clarify what’s happening and points you toward the right next steps, you may consider marking it as Accepted. Doing so helps surface the information for others who are running into the same problem.

Thank you again for flagging this, and please feel free to follow up if you have additional details or questions.

Warm regards,

If assignments are not loading in Microsoft Teams, it could be due to a few different reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check Browser Settings: Ensure that your browser settings allow for Microsoft Teams to load properly. If you are using a browser like Chrome, make sure to add the necessary Microsoft URLs to the list of trusted sites and allow third-party cookies. For example, you should add:
   • *.microsoft.com
   • *.microsoftonline.com
   • *.teams.microsoft.com
2. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, clearing your browser's cache can resolve loading issues. Try clearing the cache and cookies, then restart the browser and try accessing Teams again.
3. Browser Compatibility: Make sure you are using a supported browser. Microsoft Teams works best with the latest versions of browsers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. If you are using Safari, ensure that the "Prevent cross-site tracking" option is unchecked in the privacy settings.
4. Network Issues: Check your internet connection to ensure it is stable. Sometimes, network issues can prevent Teams from loading correctly.
5. Update Teams: If you are using the desktop app, ensure that it is updated to the latest version. You can check for updates in the app settings.
6. Contact Support: If the issue persists, you may need to contact Microsoft Education Support for further assistance, especially if it is affecting multiple users.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue with assignments not loading in Teams.
