How to Share an Office 365 Home Subscription

[@KevinStratvert]

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.

[@allantallman9875]

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??

[@denguecebuadmin9421]

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?

[@millerkonnor6537]

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

[@CarlosJuarez-fm9zy]

You're the MAN !!!

[@zafarnawreen4691]

Is it safe

[@mahe-2268]

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

[@mrsbelding2430]

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

[@cantuvinicius]

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?

[@kevinisawake]

He did not reply - typical.

[@karangharial7454]

@@Jxhnny77 Its personal. license owner cannot access files

[@yeassirullah1344]

Hey, can I share to someone if the admin is someone else?

[@medskool6765]

i have a subscription. i want to share it so we could divide the costs would you be interested.

[@SamadyKS]

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?

[@Wuqz]

can't seem to do it when using apple as payment method?

[@tomsheffler4670]

Kevin do you have a video on how to share Office 365 personal between the 5 devices? Not seeing one. Thanks Tom

[@punitcool1in]

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.

[@alwaysnaturallyme511]

Does the steps change if service was purchased thru apple?

[@kaizen9986]

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?

[@lusitriyani3054]

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?

[@speedy00soul]

@ 1:23 "Office Home & Student at $150.00 per year". Actually it's a one time purchase of $150.00 (not yearly).

[@andreawalcott4862]

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?

[@kevannygayle5146]

While your actively sharing with someone can you create your own sub account similar to Netflix or is it one account?

[@chicohuff55]

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.

[@mrnord1989]

If you do not have an Microsoft Account you will need to created one to use the Service.

[@mredman1007]

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?

[@raitup00]

How can I share storage on Onedrive?

[@kabdu.]

Is it possible to subscriptions in the family offer through the ios app store?

[@petelamoia]

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?

[@ag8165]

Hi I want to ask that a member can see the organiser's files or anything in the account or in onedrive?

[@juliebeard6424]

Is this subscription capable and ready in Australian?

[@billskidmore2548]

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?

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

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.

[@michaelesteves7653]

You know Kevin? You really answers all my questions in mind LOL. Hope I pass my technical interview today!

[@BM-vl3xw]

1 tb storage for each person or for all?

[@Filsterman1]

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!

[@pepsiyummie1]

It’s not easy. Many issues. We’ve paid for the family subscription but haven’t been able to successfully share it. Grrr.

[@Austin67G]

do each user get 1Tb of one drive space or is it a shared space?

[@KevinStratvert]

Each user gets 1TB. Across the entire account you get 6TB

[@_ia_wotblitz1400]

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?

[@KevinStratvert]

There's some grace period once you're kicked off. I'm not sure of the specifics but your data isn't immediately deleted.

[@sarahkreiner6237]

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?

[@NagiHimmed]

i have questions sir , can I extend more then 6 users by the same account ??

[@are_radrole]

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

[@II22-b2s]

Does the person you are sharing with need to have a Microsoft email account? I need to install M365 on my son's ipad.

[@BottomThe]

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?

[@jonsavva]

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

[@Frankcisco12]

Can we see data or folders to whoever we are sharing our subscription to? Or its privacy.

[@IanPaulSaligumba]

2:06 The Philippines 😍👌

[@elsanto8505]

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

[@moshrefzaman7642]

How do we share with our teacher?

[@PatrickDKing]

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.

[@TravelwithBarrie]

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?

[@NUalum82]

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

[@Godwintech247]

Kevin you are a genius. How can one start a KZbin channel on another niche? An information on the tools needed will be appreciated.

[@redoak3809]

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.

[@PatrickDKing]

I still use Office 2007, it's bought and paid for and works just fine. So you are not alone.

[@wildolive1637]

its the same with office 365 pro plus?

[@onetrues3978]

How do you create the other users in order to share with them if they don't already have an account?

[@amirulazam9066]

I got this done using your instructions; very useful! Thank you :)

[@apostlepaulaferguson]

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?

[@akosijaybautista]

Hi Kevin, kindly advise how to use Onedrive on office 365 with different users email account without mixing files

[@subhammaurya5648]

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.

[@JustFun-iz9rf]

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 KZbin Help

[@davedixon8115]

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.

[@vernonprevatt-usmc]

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!

[@jeicelarvindizon4168]

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.?

[@datascience1369]

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.

[@Googlishful]

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

[@theaboveaveragejoe]

You didn't say anything about the recipient end, after they receive the link.

[@priyankapareek6918]

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 ?

[@vcolet2011]

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

[@dunalar9454]

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

[@briangreene4277]

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‼️‼️‼️

[@islandboiy]

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?

[@alokkore1566]

Hi. Where do we get the Activation key for Family version? Is your issue solved now?

[@SpeakNowHoldYourPeace]

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?

[@povsharique]

did you got the answer? please tell me

[@ItsMyLifeAsh]

Will Microsoft increase the price in future ?

[@memoirsofkatrina6801]

Your channel is very informative! Thank you!

[@WaturiG]

Hi Kevin, I have shared my subscription with family members in another country, and it doesn't work. What seems to be the issue?

[@onetrues3978]

How do you keep some files private if everyone can see each others files?

[@fljj9261]

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?

Hi in office 365 personal also I can access 5 pcs togather

[@jeffreyaguinaldo1418]

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?

[@bavoheleu]

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

[@AHN-JIH]

By subscription,does it mean 1 email address shared to other 5 people?

[@tomdix5167]

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?

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.

How do you share your subscription if you have Family 365... my screen doesn't have a share button?

[@davidkranz1048]

I have Office 365 on my desktop PC. Can I also share it with a Macbook Pro?

[@KevinStratvert]

Yes! Install on your Macbook pro via office.com and then log in with the same account. You can install and use on up to 5 different devices.

[@pallbag]

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?

[@lhi742]

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

[@JoeB_BSc]

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?
