How do I chat with a live agent?

Laura Miller 5

I have an open case and they say they have 24/7 support but only gave me emails to reply to. I have tried replying multiple times today with when I am available and nobody is replying.

I need help signing into my outlook. I made the outlook email and added a product key but as soon as I long it it says the password is wrong

Hi, Laura Miller

For live chat support, you can open this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact

You can follow the AI assistant's answer for detailed steps to open a live convo with support agents.

For Microsoft 365 and Office support, live chat is typically the available path to reach a real agent.

Go to the Microsoft support contact experience and sign in to the Microsoft account tied to the subscription.
In the search field, enter agent support or Chat with an agent.
Ignore the search results and select Contact support.
Choose Microsoft 365 and Office as the product.
Choose Technical Support.
Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser.
If prompted, enter a working contact email address and confirm.
Wait for the chat window to open in a new tab.

If the support flow times out while creating the ticket, try the same steps again later during business hours on business days, when live chat availability is better.

If the case is in Power Platform admin center, open the existing issue and select Open Chat to continue the same conversation when live chat with persistence is available. If live chat is unavailable or the support agent is not performing correctly, use Switch to web form in the support pane.
