  • 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.

      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??

    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?

    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.

    Ok I’m new at this but appreciated this video very much.
    I shared my account with my wife ✅
    What I’m having difficulty wrapping my head around is that I have uploaded all our 250 gigs of files, pics and videos to my 1tb space but I see that she has her own 1tb space.
    I want us both to use the same space so we can access all files and pictures on my space... and to set her camera roll on my space so I can organize them in the proper folders.
    I hope this makes sense and hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
