I am trying to reach a live agent for technical support, but it seems impossible. This is because I gave up trying to figure out how to send an email to support. This website and entire support system is garbage.

    If you are experiencing any problems using the Office apps, please provide full details on the problem and a screenshot of any error you may be seeing, also what version of Microsoft Office do you have and are you using the Office apps on a Windows PC or on an Apple Mac computer.

    If this is a problem with your subscription, this forum is just a user to user forum, no-one here has any account access, try using this method to contact their support.

    Go to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus

    Select Microsoft 365

    Click 'Get Home Support'.

    In the box provided, type billing.

    Press Enter, then on the next page, scroll down and click 'Sign in to Contact Support'.

    Navigate to Microsoft 365 and Office - Manage my Subscription.

    Select the 'Chat with support agent in web browser' option

    For Microsoft 365 technical support, use Get Help or the support contact page and request chat or a callback.

    1. Open Get Help on the web: Get Help on the web or Get Help in Windows.
    2. Describe the issue.
    3. If the self-help results do not help, select Contact Support.
    4. Choose the product or service.
    5. Confirm the request.
    6. Select a contact method:
      • Chat with a support agent in your web browser
      • Provide your phone number, and a support agent will call you

    For Microsoft 365 for business, an admin can also do this in the admin center:

    1. Go to the admin center at https://admin.cloud.microsoft.
    2. Select Help & support at the bottom right.
    3. Enter the issue.
    4. If needed, select the Contact Support headset icon.
    5. Choose phone or email contact, confirm the details, and submit.

    Important details:

    • Available contact options depend on hours of operation, product, scenario, and subscription.
    • If the account is a personal Microsoft account and sign-in is the problem, start with the sign-in helper: Start sign-in helper.
    • Support agents cannot send password reset links or change account details.
