Question

I was on chat help but got disconnected. How do I get back in.

Answer 1

If you were disconnected from a chat session, you can reconnect within three minutes by returning to the chat widget. If you return after three minutes, a new chat session will begin. However, if reconnection is enabled by the administrator, you may have options to reconnect to the previous session using a link shared by the service representative or through a prompt if you had authentication settings configured.

To ensure you can reconnect, make sure you meet the following conditions:

1. You return within the reconnection time configured.
2. The representative has not ended the session.
3. You have not closed the chat window.
4. If the representative closed the chat window, you might not reconnect to the same representative.

If you need further assistance, consider reaching out to customer support for help with reconnecting to your chat session.

Answer 2

If you can tell me the specific issue you are experiencing, I will be able to assist you.

If you would still like to reconnect with a Microsoft support agent, please check your email. Did you receive any email confirmation when you previously had a chat session?

If yes, it may contain a link that allows you to reconnect with the Microsoft agent who assisted you. If you did not receive one, you may need to create a new support request by visiting the support page. Once you are connected with a new agent, you can provide your case number so they can review your previous conversation.
