Cannot open aps in Chrome

Question

Hello! Up until about a month ago I was using the office suite via the browser on chrome, not the apps, as I just prefer the layout that way. About a month ago however when I would select one of the apps from the sidebar in my outlook mailbox, it opens a new tab but nothing happens. The browser reads:
"https://www.office.com/launch/excel?auth=2&username=lmacagno@palomar.edu&login_hint=lmacagno@palomar.edu"
But the page itself stays blank and nothing happens. At work many of the documents are living docs so I need to access them in the cloud, and I cannot figure out why this is happening. It doesn't happen when I use Safari but I would prefer to keep using Chrome.
