Why do my personal emails xxxx@OUTLOOK.COM (and xxx@LIVE.CA) fail DMARC?

I am not the owner of the OUTLOOK.COM and LIVE.CA domains so how can I set up the DMARC records?
As of Feb 1, 2024 Google and Yahoo check DMARC records. I am a home user, subscribing to Microsoft 365 Family. I have two personal email addresses, XXXX@OUTLOOK.COM and XXXX@LIVE.CA. I can send the emails but the recipients do not get my emails delivered.
Here is the error report for one email sent from my xxxx@LIVE.CA address:
SkySnag shows my personal LIVE.CA address passes SPF check and fails DMARC (and TLS-RPT and MTA-STS). Anyone can check their email address at https://www.skysnag.com/domain-results/?domain={email-address}/
Here is the error shown for one of the rejected emails (image removed):
Postmaster.yahooinc.com rejects email because my personal email address fails DMARC
I have checked the article learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/email-authentication-dmarc-configure. But I am not the owner of these domains so I am not sure how to proceed.

2024-02-03T19:43:24.2666667+00:00 Yahoo blocks my emails sent from xxx@LIVE.CA and xxx@OUTLOOK.COM. I went to https://dmarcian.com to check both my email addresses that Microsoft provides. For both LIVE.CA and OUTLOOK.COM, the dmarcian.com site reports... You have a valid DMARC record that provides visibility into the entirety of your email program(s) and helps ensure you meet email sending best practices.
Your domain however is not fully protected against abuse as it does not take full advantage of the protections afforded by DMARC. The checks performed here are similar to those done by mailbox providers such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. DMARC, SPF and DKIM records live in your domain's DNS and are used by mailbox providers to separate legitimate email from abuse. Based on your DMARC policy, receivers are currently not able to block fraudulent emails that mimic your domain. . I am not sure what I can do now. I have asked the question on https://learn.microsoft.com. Is there any other place where I can report this problem? -
