Learn how to share your Office 365 Home subscription plan with up to 5 other people. Office 365 includes such popular programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, 1 TB OneDrive storage per user, and 60 minutes per month Skype calling. If you share with 6 people total, the price per month works out to around $1.40, which is pretty tremendous value.
To share your subscription with others, you'll need to log in to account.microsoft.com with your Microsoft account. Once you sign in, click on "Services & subscriptions", then click on "Sharing", then click on "Start sharing". You can then either "Invite via email" or Invite via a link" to share your subscription with others.

To share your subscription with others, you'll need to log in to account.microsoft.com with your Microsoft account. Once you sign in, click on "Services & subscriptions", then click on "Sharing", then click on "Start sharing". You can then either "Invite via email" or Invite via a link" to share your subscription with others.

One thing you forget to tell people is the recipient has to setup a Microsoft account as well for it to work. then what to do once they have the link or Invite??

I was looking for something like this, and after watching this video, it's clear that I need 5 more people. As I am definitely going for this service. Great job in making us understand it most efficiently.

@visothsarakpenn1419 4 года назад

Dear Kevin, I have a concern regarding the security. Can the people you share your subscription with view your files ?

@kaizen9986 3 года назад

thank you for this video. like to know if you delete one person account can you reassign to another person? will that assignee office work properly?

For a family of 4, one has a MAC and 2 of us share a computer. I assume the 2 people using a 'shared' machine each still has 1TB, when they login separately? And the MAC user can enjoy all the features?

@mrsbelding2430 3 года назад

Can the people you share with see what documents you working on, say on recently opened document?

Kevin, I have a computer with multiple accounts, .e.g. my personal one, one for my photos and another for my online tutoring. Each account has their own files/folders. Can I use the Office 365 family subscription on a single device with each login account connected to a different Microsoft account? And hence each login from my device gets 1TB of storage?

@sarahkreiner6237 3 года назад

If you remove someone from your "group" what happens to their docs stored in One Drive? What is the best way to transfer files from one "One Drive" account to another?

@SamadyKS 2 года назад

So after sharing, is it going to be a separated account or all account are using in the same function ? I mean storage, folder, or document in one account? Everyone can access each other?

If you upgrade after e.g. 3 months from the single to the familiy package - do you pay 100 again or 30 (the difference) extra ? - what with the 9 months I still have from the single subscription ? Thanks

Does everyone have to sign up at the same time as I do and does the 1year start when they sign up or it's when I sign up?

Hello Kevin, I shared microsoft 365 account, whenever I change the theme of my Microsoft office it will also change the theme of the shared account. How do I retain my theme without affecting my shared account?

@Googlishful 3 года назад

Does the person you share with have to create a MS account? I was told by my MSFT tech employee NO; may make it easier to instruct my friend on the install since he is somewhat limited physically. Thanks

@dunalar9454 3 года назад

Do all people you share the subscription need Microsoft account. Having said that does it all work when owner of the subscription has Microsoft account and all other 5 members don't? Thanks

@redoak3809 2 года назад

Love your videos! I actually have Office 2007 and it is virtually all I need. I am looking to get a newer version of Office such as the 2019 or 2021 version so that I can use it ti practice the various newer features. I got the free version of Microsoft 365 but it does not have the higher end features such as Mail Merge that I need to practice. I was thinking about buying a copy of 2019 to use but it is missing Outlook, Notes and other things. Additionally, it seems I can only load it onto 1 machine. I will be the only one using it, but I have a home machine and one I bring out. Help me navigate and figure out which version of office on a budget that I can get to practice and learn the newer features and install on at least two PCs.

Hi Kevin, I am having a problem finding out how to move my elderly father from his personal 365 account to my family account. I send him the email and he follows the directions but for some reason it always says that can not be done until his subscription expires (today) and it still won't work. Any ideas on how to make this work? THANKS!

This is an old vid, but hopefully my question will transfer over to Microsoft 365 characteristics ... what happens if you stop sharing a sub with a user, do their stored files just disappear completely?

@PatrickDKing 2 года назад

I'm almost sold, but not being able to allocate the 6TB for me really ruins it. I am aware of the dummy account shared folder method but it's really not something I want to be bothered with. It's 2022 and the lack of something so simple as that just ruins it for me.

@RajeshCheemalakonda 4 года назад

you can install in as many computers and login with the same id, however, only one computer can be used per user-id at a time. With a family of account of 6, you can install in all 18 computers with 6*3 ids but at any point of time, only 6 can be online.

@KevinStratvert 4 года назад

You get free space on OneDrive and that free space remains whether or not you have a subscription. If you're using more than the free amount, it locks so you can't add more content until you get it below the free threshold.

Is it safe to purchase office 365 on Etsy and what is the best way to organize/set up on my laptop that I now have my original Microsoft login for 365/Email plus and original username/password that set up when I originally bought the laptop? First and foremost I was concerned about buying office365 from third party seller like on Etsy but for the saving, I did. So now when I am logging in my laptop setting seemed confused during login, am I limited to only login and work on 1 product at a time? ie. woking on excel and wanting to check my 365 email it won't log me in with my auto saved username/password. I just want to know that my computer is safe at this point and what are way to organize all this difference logins. Thanks in advance!
