You can click around the help site up until you find a web link to a support page, yet that’s not the like having a particular choice to contact support. If you obtain a trouble with a mobile app, you’re ideal off logging a ticket making use of among the techniques we define listed below.

Log a Ticket From a Web App In Your Browser

There are various approaches for accessing assistance in the web apps, depending on which internet application you’re making use of.

Expectation, Calendar, and People
The Outlook customer app includes e-mail, a schedule, get in touch with administration, and also job management.

A Microsoft assistance engineer will certainly assess your ticket and also get in touch with you by email.

Tasks/To-Do

In 2015, Microsoft purchased Wunderlist and after that developed a new application called To-Do that is based on the Wunderlist application. Microsoft To-Do will eventually change the Tasks alternative in Outlook entirely, yet this hasn’t completely happened yet. The result of this is that speaking to support for Tasks is a bit different from the way you do it for Outlook, Calendar, as well as People.

Click the “?” in the top right of the food selection bar and after that click “Get support.”

This will certainly open up the support web page for Microsoft To-Do. Scroll down to all-time low of the web page as well as on the right-hand side click “Contact us.”

OneNote, Sway, as well as Forms

In both Sway as well as Forms, there is a Help alternative readily available from the 3 dots menu in the top right edge, but also for both applications, there’s no evident method to call assistance with anything apart from “comments.” OneNote has the same File > > Help > Help alternative as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, yet when you click it, there is additionally no evident means to call support.

For all three of these apps, you can, of course, click around the Microsoft assistance till you discover a course to support, yet that’s not the exact same thing as having an evident means to get in touch with support from within the application.

Log a ticket from your Office 365 Account

This will open your account page, where you need to click the “Microsoft Support” web link.

Click “Contact assistance” to open a window to Microsoft’s Virtual Support Agent, which will attempt to aid as well as if it can not, place you touching a real-time person.

You can see that, as a result of a mix of product procurement and also a lack of constant individual experience style throughout groups, Microsoft offers multiple means of speaking to support, even in this one product suite. They have actually plainly tried to bring a level of consistency to their typical client applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), but the web applications aren’t regular at all, and the mobile apps don’t even have the choice yet.

Still, it wasn’t that long ago that the suggestion of an individual customer being able to call an actual, online Microsoft support individual was fanciful at best, so a minimum of they’re relocating the appropriate direction.
