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??
hi good day, I am having issue on logging on my Microsoft account and trying to recover it couple of time but im having some issue, this account is the one i used to activate my subscription,. I want to share it to some PC's but because of this problem I am not able to share. any tips nor advice what i can do?
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
Thank you, Kevin. It worked just fine! My daughter even found out how to make me the administrator (she had done it while I was at work) Kids these days! LoL
if we share with 5 people, for ex I share with my 5 friends. do they sign in with their own Microsoft account or with my account to get the share? Will our data be safe from other 5 people?
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.
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?
My wife shared her account with me. I got the email, clicked the link and it asked me to log in. What do I use for login? So far it’s just treating like a customer who needs to buy it.
Hello Kevin, My account doesn't show my Office 365 subscription. But I have paid for the home addition and have all the apps (excel, outlook, word, etc). And such, my acct page/subscriptions & services tab doesn't look like yours. There is not any 'Share Devices' Any help?
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?
Thank you for video.. quick question.. what will happen if someone kick me out after a year.. will all the data on cloud be erased.. or will it be saved in cloud until I find new subscriptions?
Great video. I have been worried about buying the family plan because I've read so many people (on Amazon) having trouble getting set up. This video shows how simple it really is. Definitely getting it now!
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.
create a folder in your one drive and share it only with specific mail address of one drive user. with whome you want to share. if you don't have office 365 family.
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?
You need to install using your login for the first time, after that you can logout and she will use it, bit lousy but that is how it works now, i guess intention is limit this to a household.
No it didn't help, it's only half a video. I just sent an invite to my wife and she can't get logged in. She has her own Microsoft account, should that work? Doesn't appear to be?
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.
What's the point to pay for a yearly subscription ???? What about if I just want to pay one time installation for my PC??? I don't understand the difference. Can you explain Kevin Stratvert?? Thanks
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?
When you share your subscription do all shared members have access to each other's files? I don't want them to see my files or "recent files". Do all members have their files private so the other members of the family plan cannot access them?
Question for you: I have an Office/Microsoft 365 Subscription. I use One Drive heavily. My wife wants her own OneDrive because she is weird. How can I add a separate OneDrive for her? Thank you in advance‼️‼️‼️
I did follow the steps you provided however it required my husband to enter an activation code? Will I have to do that for everyone that I add because I would like to share with a church member in school but I don't want my activation code out there?
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!
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
Hi Kevin,can you please tell me how to share/give access to other users on the same laptop. I have downloaded 365 as admin but it is only available in my admin Account not in other users account on the same laptop.
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?
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
How much do you make a year working for MS? I recently found out for the subscription if you BUY the family one and then go to help 'ACT DUMB' and say I need it on all 6 machines with these user names can you do it for me. 4 hours later they did it all for me. VERY NICE~!
Calling phone numbers with Skype costs money. Skype to Skype calls are free. With office 365, you get 60 minutes of phone calling per month for each account included.
Kevin - Once I share Office 365 with a family member. What steps does that family member need to do to install and begin using the shared account? Does the family member need an MS account of their own?
Thank you! I shared with a co-worker and now my laptop has her name on it when I login? What does that mea? Does my co-worker have access to all my files?
Question my brother did the share for me, it works fine online, but when I save a downloaded version of the doc, it can't open on my local laptop to work offline on the doc it ask for a oem type of thing any help on this. Or is the family only online...thanks
great video and info: question. I have office 365 on my 2 pc and my sister shares 2 license for her 2 PC. I am in the process of changing one of my pc and my sister is getting rid of one of her pc -hdd problems. how can I effective change out the PC and not over use my 5 lic? thinking out loud - "unload ofc 365 on my old pc, load ofc 365 onto my new pc, give my sister my old pc (w/o ofc 365), one of her pc has a bad hdd and cannot unload ofc365. how can I get to share my ofc 365 license on my old pc? loss here - help??
can you discuss outlook new0 if you had chrome installed. Got new pc and would love to use outlook ( never have but know basics on what it is)- do you have to deinstall chrome to use Today I use chrome and yahoo calendar for 2 emails I have. oh other question - on sharing if I want to include my gmail and my work email does that count as 2...I am assuming yes
Are there any risks sharing your subscription with people you don't know? like friends of friends or random people, can they access your files somehow?
The risk is low. They won’t be able to access your files. If they do a bunch of illegal stuff with their account (eg host a bunch of copyrighted files on OneDrive or explicit child photos) I wouldn’t want their account to be connected to mine.
For privacy of everybody connected can the non-primary account holder see other people that are connected in the family? When you sign into your wife’s account does it show your brother and the rest of the group Or is that information only visible to the account holder?
I have a doubt pls solve for example if I am sharing with my mom and she is uploading some pictures will that picture sync to my OneDrive and come in the gallery ?
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
I have the Family account and works for me. I have tried to share it with my family via email. I shows that invite was sent and status shows as "Invite Pending". None of the 3 members to whom I have sent the invite received it. I have resent few times as well. Also asked them to check their Junk folders. No luck either. Why is the invite not reaching them?
I just want it on my phone and my computer. And my phone and computer are not sharing with each other and I don’t like that. I don’t need to share it with other people. I just want to share it with myself on my phone can you help?
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?

You're the MAN !!!
Is it safe
Thank you for the video! Does the license owner has any access to the other family members OneDrive contents, or is it private to each one?
He did not reply - typical.
@@Jxhnny77 Its personal. license owner cannot access files
2:06 The Philippines 😍👌
Can the people you share with see what documents you working on, say on recently opened document?
ahahaha, even the Microsoft employee uses Chrome
Lmao 😊
@@evan.5967 nah he already leave microsoft
i see it coming btw
Thank you, Kevin. It worked just fine! My daughter even found out how to make me the administrator (she had done it while I was at work) Kids these days! LoL
Hey, can I share to someone if the admin is someone else?
i have a subscription. i want to share it so we could divide the costs would you be interested.
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?
if we share with 5 people, for ex I share with my 5 friends. do they sign in with their own Microsoft account or with my account to get the share? Will our data be safe from other 5 people?

@ 1:23 "Office Home & Student at $150.00 per year". Actually it's a one time purchase of $150.00 (not yearly).
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?
How can I share storage on Onedrive?
can't seem to do it when using apple as payment method?
do each user get 1Tb of one drive space or is it a shared space?
Each user gets 1TB. Across the entire account you get 6TB
My wife shared her account with me. I got the email, clicked the link and it asked me to log in. What do I use for login? So far it’s just treating like a customer who needs to buy it.
If you do not have an Microsoft Account you will need to created one to use the Service.
How do we share with our teacher?
You know Kevin? You really answers all my questions in mind LOL.
Hope I pass my technical interview today!
Hello Kevin, My account doesn't show my Office 365 subscription. But I have paid for the home addition and have all the apps (excel, outlook, word, etc). And such, my acct page/subscriptions & services tab doesn't look like yours. There is not any 'Share Devices'
Any help?
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?
1 tb storage for each person or for all?
Kevin do you have a video on how to share Office 365 personal between the 5 devices? Not seeing one. Thanks Tom
Does the steps change if service was purchased thru apple?
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?
Thank you for video.. quick question.. what will happen if someone kick me out after a year.. will all the data on cloud be erased.. or will it be saved in cloud until I find new subscriptions?
There's some grace period once you're kicked off. I'm not sure of the specifics but your data isn't immediately deleted.
Hi I want to ask that a member can see the organiser's files or anything in the account or in onedrive?
Great video. I have been worried about buying the family plan because I've read so many people (on Amazon) having trouble getting set up. This video shows how simple it really is. Definitely getting it now!
It’s not easy. Many issues. We’ve paid for the family subscription but haven’t been able to successfully share it. Grrr.
Correction: Office home and student is 150 dollars one time and then you have it until you need to buy a new pc or need to reinstall Windows

I still use Office 2007, it's bought and paid for and works just fine. So you are not alone.
Is it possible to subscriptions in the family offer through the ios app store?
Hi in office 365 personal also I can access 5 pcs togather
Hi Kevin, kindly advise how to use Onedrive on office 365 with different users email account without mixing files
create a folder in your one drive and share it only with specific mail address of one drive user. with whome you want to share. if you don't have office 365 family.
While your actively sharing with someone can you create your own sub account similar to Netflix or is it one account?
Just a correction, Office Home & Student 2019 is a perpetual license, meaning that it will be a one time payment and you will own the license
Joseph Chávez but you won’t get any updates. If you wanna buy an update you will have to pay in full amount.
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?
Is this subscription capable and ready in Australian?
Kevin you are a genius. How can one start a UA-cam channel on another niche? An information on the tools needed will be appreciated.
let's assume, you remove a person. this person has 1tb files on the shared onedrive. what happened to them files then?
Can the people you share with see what the last word document you worked on or have access to any of your files using the apps?
I already shared it and was accepted by my colleague. But when she installed it, it still ask for an activation key?? how can i fix that.?
You need to install using your login for the first time, after that you can logout and she will use it, bit lousy but that is how it works now, i guess intention is limit this to a household.
can i share bussiness accounts
i have a business account would you like to share.
Hi..so my father has added me as a family member on his account..the only thing I dont know is how can I access it so I can use word, PowerPoint, etc
Will Microsoft increase the price in future ?
I have a question if I share does that mean they can go into my one drive account or is it separate one drive account
Can we see data or folders to whoever we are sharing our subscription to? Or its privacy.
No it didn't help, it's only half a video. I just sent an invite to my wife and she can't get logged in. She has her own Microsoft account, should that work? Doesn't appear to be?

i have questions sir , can I extend more then 6 users by the same account ??
Your channel is very informative! Thank you!
How do you create the other users in order to share with them if they don't already have an account?
I have office 365 with 6 users. I do not understan how to make it so others cannot see my documents. I cannot find it on UA-cam Help
What's the point to pay for a yearly subscription ???? What about if I just want to pay one time installation for my PC??? I don't understand the difference. Can you explain Kevin Stratvert?? Thanks
Thank you Kevin for making this video it was exactly what I was looking for :)
i'm sharing office and my associate already has office 365
what does he do???
I got this done using your instructions; very useful! Thank you :)
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?
You need to show how that user have to install and use, that is the most asked question.
Does the office 365 home comes with access today?
Does the person you are sharing with need to have a Microsoft email account? I need to install M365 on my son's ipad.
When you share your subscription do all shared members have access to each other's files? I don't want them to see my files or "recent files". Do all members have their files private so the other members of the family plan cannot access them?
did you got the answer? please tell me

How to share enterprise office to another Microsoft account. Self transfer?
Hi Kevin,can you please tell me how to share/give access to other users on the same laptop. I have downloaded 365 as admin but it is only available in my admin
Account not in other users account on the same laptop.
By subscription,does it mean 1 email address shared to other 5 people?

So you are saying that the 60 Skype minutes are actually NOT FREE!!?
Calling phone numbers with Skype costs money. Skype to Skype calls are free. With office 365, you get 60 minutes of phone calling per month for each account included.
can i set a pin or lock to my account so other people cant interfere
Kevin -
Once I share Office 365 with a family member. What steps does that family member need to do to install and begin using the shared account? Does the family member need an MS account of their own?
I have the same question and I think the answer is YES, they will need a Microsoft account of their own but I'm not 100% sure.

Thank you sir. I tried several times just to share with the key a nd it failed obviously.
Dear Kevin, I have a concern regarding the security. Can the people you share your subscription with view your files ?
after that all why my office still need product key? how to fix it?
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?
Hi do you know if a college student can share his student office 365 with someone at home
Hi Kevin, I have shared my subscription with family members in another country, and it doesn't work. What seems to be the issue?
I like how you're using Chrome and not Edge lol But jokes aside, wouldn't Edge Chromium beta be a better option to use as a Microsoft employee?
I have one question office 365 can i share with someone in different countries 🤔
