    To request a callback or live support for an Outlook account setup issue:

    1. Go to the Microsoft Support contact page and search for agent support or describe the account setup issue.
    2. Select Contact Support.
    3. Choose Microsoft 365 and Office as the product and Technical Support as the category.
    4. Sign in with the Microsoft account that works.
    5. Select the available support option. Depending on region, subscription, and availability, this may include Chat with a support agent in your web browser or a callback option.

    For Outlook.com support, support can also be reached from Help on the menu bar, then entering the query. If self-help does not solve the problem, use Still need help? and select Yes.

    To add an account to Outlook:

    • In Outlook on Windows: open Outlook > File > Add Account, enter the email address, select Connect, then enter the password and finish setup.
    • In Outlook for Mac: open Outlook, enter the email address and password, select Add Account, then Done. To add another account, use Tools > Accounts > + Add Account.

    If the account being added is Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud, two-factor authentication and an app password may be required.

    Hi Roger,

    I would like to gently clarify that this is a public user-to-user support forum. Moderators and users here do not have access to Microsoft’s support systems, cannot influence call routing or response times, and are unable to make direct calls to users.

    If you want a call with a Microsoft support agent, you can reach out to them by:

    1/ For business account

    You need to create a support ticket to contact Microsoft Support:

    • Go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center > Support > Help & Support with an administrator account
    • Turn off the "Support Assistant" feature.    
    • Use the keyword "Support" to quickly bypass automated suggestions > Select Contact Support.  
    • In the ticket description, please clearly describe the issue, including any error messages and the steps you’ve already tried. You can also attach screenshots or screen recordings.  
    • Additionally, sharing your preferred contact times may help the support team handle the case more efficiently.

    If you're an end-user, please refer to this article to contact your IT administrator: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support    

    2/ For Personal Office license

    • Use the Microsoft Support contact page > log in to your Microsoft account.
    • Enter "agent support" in the search bar and press Enter or click on Get Help.
    • Ignore the search results and click on the "Contact Support" button at the bottom.
    • On the next page, select "Microsoft 365 and Office" and "Technical Support" from the drop-down lists, and then click on "Confirm" > "Chat with a support agent in your web browser" > enter your email address and click on "Confirm".
    • A chat window will open in a new tab. Wait for the operator to respond and describe the situation to him.

    Should you need additional assistance, please feel free to share it in the comments below. I'm very happy to help.
