I would like to use PowerPoint to create and sell digital products on Teachers Pay Teachers and Etsy. Would I be able to use my Microsoft Family 365 subscription or would I need to purchase a business subscription or license?

You'll need a business license to use Office for commercial purposes. From the Microsoft Service Agreement:

Microsoft 365 Apps and Services

  • h. Microsoft 365 Apps and Services.
    • i. Use Terms. Microsoft 365 Family, Microsoft 365 Personal, Microsoft 365 Basic, Sway, OneNote.com and any other Microsoft 365 app or Service or Office-branded Service is for your personal, noncommercial use, unless you have commercial use rights under a separate agreement with Microsoft. Use of apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive, Access, and Publisher in Microsoft 365 Family, Microsoft 365 Personal, and any other Microsoft 365 app or subscription Service is governed by supplemental license terms located at https://aka.ms/useterms together with these Terms.

    Hello,

    Microsoft doesn't restrict you from using the family plan for commercial purpose. The difference between family/personal plans vs. business plans are more about the features.
