Share your Microsoft 365 Family Subscription

f you’ve purchased Microsoft 365 Family, you can share your subscription benefits with up to five other people in your household.

At no extra cost, each person you share with gets the following benefits:

Latest Microsoft Apps

Each user can install Microsoft Office on all any device (PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone or Android) and be signed in to Microsoft Office on five devices at the same time. To be able to install Office, they will need their own Microsoft account. If they don’t already have a Microsoft account, they can create one when they accept your invitation to share plus it’s free.

1 TB of OneDrive Storage

Anyone you share your subscription benefits with, will get their own OneDrive storage. Don’t worry: They can’t access files or folders on your personal OneDrive storage, though you can share files with them if you want. 

Skype

60 Skype minutes per month to mobile phones in eight countries and to landlines in 60+ countries (only in markets where Skype is available)

Outlook.com

Advanced email security tools help protect each person’s inbox from phishing and malware with real-time warnings about malicious websites and by scanning attachments for the latest viruses. People you share with will also get an ad-free experience and 50 GB of storage per mailbox.

1. Go to Office.com/myaccount and Sign in using your Microsoft email, phone number, Windows Hello or a security key

Use Microsoft family to share your Office with family members

The Microsoft family feature enables you to easily share calendars with family members, limit screen time, enable safer browsing, and share your Office 365 Home subscription with other members of your household.
