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
1. What happens to my data and files if I stop the subscription ? 2. What if I want to switch from one family group to another? 3. Will data from one family account be shown in another account?
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.
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!
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.
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?
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?
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?
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‼️‼️‼️
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?
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?
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?
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
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?
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?
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.
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!
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
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.
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~!
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
Hi Kevin, I have 2 questions Does the person with whom you're sharing with, needs to have a Microsoft account? I have shared my account with someone by sending them an invite via email, they have received the invite in their email whoever after downloading and installing they were asked for the activation key. Do I have to provide them with this?
Hello Kevin. May I ask, can the shared MS Office License be suspended or revoked by its owner? I use a shared MS Office from my former employer. And since I happened to resign just recently, is it possible that he will stop sharing the license thus I won't be able to use it already? Thank you so much! God Bless you more!
When sharing subscription, how can you move people between Microsoft Family and Other people? I have shared it with a friend of mine but I don't want them to be under my Microsoft family.
I shared with a family member and my name and photo is on all of the products and my emails appear. Are they doing something wrong? I thought I was sharing the product, not access such as seeing my computer info. Thanks!
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
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 ?
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?
If i share my subscription with only 1 person she gets 1tb OneDrive space right ??? And can I use the rest 5tb space alone or am I also stuck with 1 Tb ?
I have Office 365 Personal and it still says I can install on 5 devices but I cannot figure out how. Do you have a video for that? Its so frustrating. My look on my account is different from yours. I don't have a sharing button once I click on services and subscriptions. HALP. please
I have the personal subscription for a year. On my phone it works perfectly and on my Mac and iPad i cant edit and it keeps saying i don’t have any subscription. I subscribed to that on my iPhone My iPad and my Mac have the same Apple ID and my phone has different Apple ID, I cant seem to figure out what the problem is and if having two different apple id really matters when using a Microsoft account. Plz help
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?
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.
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?
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?
I have a problem I'd appriciate help with. I shared my subscription with someone by when they try to download MS 365 it takes them to the free version of it and asks them if they want to subscribe. Any idea on how to resolve this?
Hi Kevin, I bought this program for my Laptop but do not know how to also use it on my desktop PC; because in my opinion, one possible reason may be that I have a different outlook email address on my laptop to that on my desktop PC; would this affect my including my two outlook addresses please, eg as 2 of my 6 memberships? I look forward to your reply, Thanks and Regards JB.
I am having office 365 in my laptop and I want to send it to my computer without downloading it on my computer . Can you tell how can I do By just only sending files

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
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

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.
Dear Kevin, I have a concern regarding the security. Can the people you share your subscription with view your files ?
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
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.
Your channel is very informative! Thank you!
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.
I got this done using your instructions; very useful! Thank you :)
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?
Thank you Kevin for making this video it was exactly what I was looking for :)
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'

Hey Kevin! The way of your explaining things are easy and clear. Good job!God bless you!
Kevin you are a genius. How can one start a CZcams channel on another niche? An information on the tools needed will be appreciated.
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‼️‼️‼️
This was a great video, thanks. I have had 365 personal for years but the few extra dollars make it even better to share with others.
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.
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?
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?
While your actively sharing with someone can you create your own sub account similar to Netflix or is it one account?
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
@ 1:23 "Office Home & Student at $150.00 per year". Actually it's a one time purchase of $150.00 (not yearly).
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?
2:06 The Philippines 😍👌
Kevin do you have a video on how to share Office 365 personal between the 5 devices? Not seeing one. Thanks Tom
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.
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.

1 tb storage for each person or for all?
How can I share storage on Onedrive?
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
You're the man Kevin.
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
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 still use Office 2007, it's bought and paid for and works just fine. So you are not alone.
Does the person you are sharing with need to have a Microsoft email account? I need to install M365 on my son's ipad.
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?
Thanks ! This was very helpful !
Will Microsoft increase the price in future ?
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.
In a more recent video, you said you were going self-employed full time doing tech videos. How's that going?
Thanks so much! This video was so for your help!
i have questions sir , can I extend more then 6 users by the same account ??
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~!
Is this subscription capable and ready in Australian?
Is it possible to subscriptions in the family offer through the ios app store?
let's assume, you remove a person. this person has 1tb files on the shared onedrive. what happened to them files then?
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, 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.
Does the steps change if service was purchased thru apple?
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.
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
Hi in office 365 personal also I can access 5 pcs togather
How do we share with our teacher?
thank you! you made it simple!
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?
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
You need to show how that user have to install and use, that is the most asked question.
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?
By subscription,does it mean 1 email address shared to other 5 people?
Ok I’m new at this but appreciated this video very much.

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.

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
If i share my subscription with only 1 person she gets 1tb OneDrive space right ??? And can I use the rest 5tb space alone or am I also stuck with 1 Tb ?
How do you create the other users in order to share with them if they don't already have an account?
My question is: can all the family members use the same laptop, or can each one use his or her laptop with the same Microsoft 365 key?
I have Office 365 Personal and it still says I can install on 5 devices but I cannot figure out how. Do you have a video for that? Its so frustrating. My look on my account is different from yours. I don't have a sharing button once I click on services and subscriptions. HALP. please
Can we see data or folders to whoever we are sharing our subscription to? Or its privacy.
I have the personal subscription for a year. On my phone it works perfectly and on my Mac and iPad i cant edit and it keeps saying i don’t have any subscription.
I subscribed to that on my iPhone
My iPad and my Mac have the same Apple ID and my phone has different Apple ID,
I cant seem to figure out what the problem is and if having two different apple id really matters when using a Microsoft account.
Plz help
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?
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'm sharing office and my associate already has office 365
what does he do???
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.
Hi Kevin, I have shared my subscription with family members in another country, and it doesn't work. What seems to be the issue?
