“As of March 12, 2026, Microsoft Sway is completely down. None of my Sway presentations load, and the editor stays on a blank white screen. Additionally, the official Sway website and the public Sway landing page are not accessible — both fail to load in normal and incognito mode. I have tested multiple different internet connections, and the issue persists across all of them. This outage affects all content and prevents any use of the service.”

    Hi @Académie de Langue Française - Servicio de Idiomas

    I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced and understand the impact this situation may have caused.

    Based on current observations, there appear to be multiple users experiencing similar issues with Sway, so this may not be isolated to your account. In this situation, it would be best to ask your IT administrator to report the issue through the Microsoft 365 admin center under Service health > Report an issue. This helps ensure the problem is formally tracked and reviewed at the tenant level.

    Additionally, your IT administrator should also raise a support ticket with Microsoft Support via the Microsoft 365 admin center. Through this channel, support can review your tenant and account configuration, collect logs if need, and involve additional resources for deeper troubleshooting. Using both approaches together is typically the most effective way to move cases like this forward.      

    Here’s what your Microsoft 365 Global Admin (IT Admin) should do next:      

    • Submit a Service Request: The Global Admin should create a service request with Microsoft support to get advanced technical assistance and diagnostics. For detailed instructions on how to get support, please refer to Get support - Microsoft 365 admin.        
    • Find Your Microsoft 365 Admin: If you’re unsure who the Global Admin is within your organization, you can find guidance on locating them here: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.    
    • If your subscription is managed through a Microsoft partner or reseller, they can also assist with opening a support request and liaising with Microsoft on your behalf.     

    Note: If you’re an end-user, please coordinate with your Office 365 Global Administrator to handle these steps.    

    I apologize for redirecting you the related team support, as the moderators in this community don’t have access to the detailed system needed to troubleshoot this effectively due to privacy and security constraints. But Microsoft’s support team has elevated permissions and access to backend systems that we, as community moderators, do not. This ensures your issue is handled with the right tools and expertise and helps you get a faster resolution.      

    I understand the frustration this situation may cause, and I appreciate you taking the time to report it.

    Note: Please follow the steps in our documentation to enable e-mail notifications if you want to receive the related email notification for this thread.

    The provided information does not include any service health or outage details for Sway on March 12, 2026, so the cause of the described behavior cannot be confirmed.

    For a situation where Sway appears completely unavailable across networks and devices, the supported next steps are:

    1. Use official support and community channels
      • Check general Sway help and support options at Sway help & learning → Get support and Ask the community to see if others are reporting an outage and to contact support if needed.
      • For admin-focused information and any known issues, use the resources listed under Frequently asked questions about Sway – Admin Help and Frequently asked questions about Sway.
    2. Verify access and configuration
      • If using Sway with Microsoft 365 for business or education, an administrator can review Administrator settings for Sway to confirm the service has not been disabled at the tenant level.
    3. Escalate if the issue persists
      • If no public outage is documented and the problem continues across all connections and accounts, open a support case via the Answer Desk or the Contact us entry point under Sway help so Microsoft can check service-side status for the tenant and region.

    For additional learning and troubleshooting context about Sway behavior and configuration, see the Sway service description and FAQ resources.
