    Hello Tom Aldridge, thanks for posting in the community.

    To share Microsoft 365 with your family, you must be subscribed to Microsoft 365 Family. Please sign in using the Microsoft account that owns the subscription at https://account.microsoft.com/services/office/sharing. Once signed in, select Start sharing and choose how you want to invite a family member, either by sending an email invitation to their Microsoft account email address or by creating a sharing link that you can send via chat or email. The invited person will need to accept the invitation and sign in using the same email address or create a Microsoft account if they do not already have one. After the invitation is accepted, they can install Microsoft 365 apps and start using the shared benefits. Microsoft 365 subscription sharing FAQs

    Kind regards,

    John Oli

    To set up family sharing for Microsoft 365, you can create a Microsoft family group. This allows you to share your Microsoft 365 subscription with other family members. Here are the steps to do so:

    1. Create a Family Group: Go to the Microsoft Family Safety website and sign in with your Microsoft account. From there, you can create a family group and invite family members.
    2. Invite Family Members: Once your family group is created, you can send invitations to your family members via email. They will need to accept the invitation to join your family group.
    3. Share Microsoft 365 Subscription: After your family members have joined, they will have access to the Microsoft 365 subscription features, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneDrive.

    Make sure that each family member has their own Microsoft account to access the shared features effectively.
