Sway has stopped working in my Office 365
- Oct 05, 2018
Are you seeing this within other applications in office 365 too?
From were do you try to login?
Go to "https://portal.office.com" in another browser tab and log out! Close browser and reopen and sign in again
Else try another browser mean while and see what happens

Dear Adam,
Thank you very much for your reply. This gives me hope of being able to use Sway again with my personal professional Office 365 account.
Obviously I have already signed into my OneDrive account in reading the discussions in the forum.
When I try to log out by clicking the link that you gave above, we arrive at a page with the following pop-up:
This means that I'm not signed in. Otherwise I would not be asked to enter my username and password again.
As I'm already signed in, I don't know why I should enter my username and password again? I nonetheless provide my username and password, but the following error message is what I have got:
Why should I give a work email? I have a personal Professional OneDrive account, and it is always attached to my personal Hotmail email address. I should not be asked for a work/school email address.
Thanks for your help. Your further support will be highly appreciated.

Dear Adam,
Thanks for your prompt reply which has solved half of the puzzle. By logging out and then signing in directly from http://sway.office.com, I will indeed be able to use my Sway slides again.
However, I ought to be able to sign into Sway from my Office 365 account, since this is one of the Office 365 applications listed on my OneDrive. I have no problems with other Office 365 applications, but nowadays (not previously), whenever I try to log into Sway from OneDrive, I get this problem as shown below:
By implication, I cannot share my Sway slides on websites with colleagues, since most of my colleagues may not have an Office 365 account.
Your further support will be highly appreciated.
Best regards.
Youxuan
