This is a bit deceptive... you are showing how to access the web-based apps NOT to get the locally installed applications which are part of the Microsoft 365 subscription, which to me was what I thought the title was going to tell me how to do. Better title would be "How to use the Microsoft 365 Web-Apps for Free. And how they have most of the features of basic functions of the paid desktop apps. Their functionality is also much slower than the desktop app. What am I 'getting' or receiving by what you show... nothing. You are showing how to access a website. It should also state that it uses the OneDrive for storing the documents, and that is the only place the web-apps can access directly.
What people don't understand is while free. You don't get the desktop app for free and the online apps are as up to date as the desktop apps, so some of the features might not be available or refined like the desktop apps.
You get the core functionality with the free tier. Paid tiers give you much more OneDrive storage space, AI design functionality, no ads in email, etc. for many, free is good enough.
@@KevinStratvert Appreciate you getting back to this. I agree that for many only core functionality for free is good enough. Still, it would be nicer if you'd advertise your video as such. That was my point.
The BIG downside of this so-called "free" version is SECURITY. I strongly advise: do not used this Internet-based version of Microsoft Office for "propriety" documents that should not be seen or read by third parties. In basic words, if the contents of your documents contain information that should not be seen or read by Microsoft or by law enforcement agencies, a standalone Microsoft product provides a much higher level of security. °°

Hate to tell you this but if you are OK with an online Office suite, Google's is much faster than Microsoft's. Online-only Office 365 is functionally limited and sluggish to boot. If your internet connection is not super reliable at all times, you will find run into weird behavior issues. I don't know why Microsoft is obsessed with everything online. Microsoft is known for selling offline applications, so stay with your strength and re-price the home version.
@@Zetler You haven't used Google Workspace extensively. For offline type usage, MS Office is the king. For online collaborative work, Google Workspace sort of invented that space, and they are still ahead of Office 365. I use both everyday and collaborative work is much much more seamless with Google Workspace. Microsoft still can't figure out how to get OneDrive and Sharepoint to play nice with each other. Oh gosh, dont get me started with my Microsoft rant. I am on the road a lot for my job, Google Workspace is clearly a winner...and guest what? I grew up with Windows and Office and work as a developer in that ecosystem as well.
So With Microsoft 365 basic there are desktop versions but I’d like to know if there’s an exception to Teams as it’s not stated clearly...the desktop app is very important... thanks for your replies
At 1:38 you say "Once you log in you will see many familiar favourites, including Word, Excel,...". Well, I don't see any of those. What I see are icons for Account, Your info, Services and Subscriptions, Devices, Security, Privacy, Order History, Payment Options, Address Book. So the "free" account is free only for taking you to a site which is useless unless you have subscribed to, ie, paid for, what you came there to use for free - Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
Any concerns about getting heavily invested in this and then finding yourself in a situation where it's not easily accessible? I hate to put all my eggs in one basket when that basket can change features and prices later. (BTW, take notice of how often you say, "go ahead and...")

MS Office is a Great Suite. But I missed the amazing and essential features to be available for at least in Enterprise Editions. 1) Built-in Functionality for Content Control mapping and Management 2) A translate function to auto translate a text set to a variable in the document. 3) For Form Generations, If a Person is changed from Male to Female, All related Pronouns should be linked and auto convert. 4) A Proper And Efficient Way to Manage and Edit Different Sections and their properties. Suggestion is to at least in Navigation task pane.
I am curious as to your #3 "If a person is changed from male to female, All related Pronouns should be linked and auto-convert". Do you mean if you hire a female to replace a male employee it makes it easier for you to change everything around? Just not sure what you meant by that statement.
@@jacobstar2631 Max [male] is nice. He is doing his work. Get gets himself better every day due to gym. I'm asking a mapping tool that links he,his, himself to the gender of name Max. When I just change Max to Alina and set it's gender as female, He, his, himself should automatically be Changed to she, her, herself. By the way I found a macros enabled extension that works the same.
Very informative video! But... please "go ahead and" count the number of times you say "go ahead and." I lost count after the first 30-40 times. Otherwise, nice job!
Only reason to why I would need microsoft 365 is because I dont want to see ads popup in my outlook. The ads are new in outlook and so annoying. Microsoft is literally forcing money out of people just because they want to use their computers. So unfair.
what if I'm currently paying for MS 365? I would like to close that and open a free account. Can I do that without changing my email address? Or, do I have to use a different email address to use MS 365 for free?
I think I was accessing the web version of Excel through my Microsoft account, but it required me to upload my document to OneDrive. Is that what's going on here when you say it's uploaded to the web? How secure are these files? I don't want them on OneDrive. Also it created several versions of my document by adding 1, 2, 3 at the end of the file name so how do I know which is the most recent version to download to my computer again? Thanks for being here for us computer dummies! My hard drive crashed and I'm so bummed that my Office programs died with it.
I bought a laptop previous year from Kuwait i didn't know about the subscription or anything at all i thought they gives me life time free Microsoft now 28 September it's close Microsoft massaged me to renew the subscription what should I do If i use this free version can i get back my previous all documents and all features?? Please anyone tell mw
I have problems with Microsoft updating. My laptop comes to a halt and the updates don't happen, so I often have to stop updates for a week. I also have problems with One Drive. I have paid for Microsoft 365 for years, but Word documents take an age to load or won't let me in. In my Microsoft 365 account it says: 'Not actively using on any device yet.' - so I asked Microsoft about this. REPLY FROM MICROSOFT: The message "Not actively using on any device yet", means that you have not installed or used Microsoft 365 on any of your devices. It will still show this message even if you can already see files in OneDrive, as it indicates the Microsoft 365 service. We hope that clears everything. No it does not clear everything! Am I paying for 365 but I don't actually have it? Any ideas? thanks - Lynne
OK So I need to find a video teaching me how to actually INSTALL microsoft 365to the computer and not work offline. You great and all but not what i was looking for.
I thought this was to get the actual Office 365, which is the one where you have desktop apps and one terabyte of storage. My realization that I didn't need this: 1:39
If you are already paying subscription features are much more, including storage. The minimum storage in subscription models is 1tb while in free is only some GBs
Kind of a misleading title. This is not the fully featured Microsoft 365, but the "lite" web version.
Let's fix the title. HOW TO USE THE FREE VERSION OF OFFICE 365
For an optimal experience and to reduce the likelihood of dozing off, adjust the playback speed to 1.25x.
XD So true...
My fav hack for a lot of YT videos😂.
I chose 1.75x with captions on. Time saving
Why so weak huh?
1.25x? Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump it up to 2x. 🤣 👍
Seriously though, I watch all YT videos at 2x. Anything slower sounds like a drunken mess.

Since when did this happen ? earlier in most devices these apps came installed. Its so sad that I need to work on chrome for me to use such apps

This is how to "use" not get Microsoft 365 for free.
Canada
Microsoft
Basically the same thing.
Do you think I give a single crap whether I own it? I do not. I get to use the product I need, when I need it and not worry about Microsoft BS
Thank you for wasting my time
This video is misleading. You'll get reduced functionality, not the full product. You'll still need to pay for full-functionality Office 365
You get the core functionality with the free tier. Paid tiers give you much more OneDrive storage space, AI design functionality, no ads in email, etc. for many, free is good enough.
@@KevinStratvert Appreciate you getting back to this. I agree that for many only core functionality for free is good enough. Still, it would be nicer if you'd advertise your video as such. That was my point.
What's the catch and what features are missing?
You are showing the process to use a website. Its just like Google's Documents, etc. Just a click baity title.
Note that there is no web-based version of Access or Publisher. You will need to use the desktop app
Microsoft Lists, which is web based, offers Access like functionality. Microsoft Designer, also web based, offers Publisher like functionality.
@KevinStratvert hi Kevin, can we get those free as well? Thank you for the tips :o)
@@amicisun yes 👍
@@KevinStratvert That $!te ISNT working, It wont sign me in i dont know what to do.
It's not free once your 7 day trial is over. you won't be able to do anything with it.

Developer Edition is another way to get free Microsoft 365 which includes desktop version of office too.
