    Hi,

    The 365 Family Plan works on an invitation basis.

    Please check your Microsoft account for an invite. Please note that it is mandatory to create a Family group before the Organizer can send an invite. Additionally, please check spam.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

    Otherwise, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!

    To sign in and use a Microsoft 365 Family subscription that has been shared:

    1. Open the invitation
      The subscription owner will have shared the Microsoft 365 Family or Premium subscription with an email invite or a link.
      • Open the email from Microsoft and select Get started, or
      • If a link was shared, click the link and sign in.
    2. Sign in or create a Microsoft account
      • When prompted, sign in with an existing Microsoft account, or create a new one if needed.
      • This account will be associated with the shared subscription.
    3. Join the family group
      • After selecting Get started, you are taken to the Microsoft Family Safety site.
      • Select Join now to accept the invitation and join the family group.
      • This must be done within 48 hours of the invitation being sent; otherwise, the owner needs to resend it.
    4. Access Microsoft 365 and install apps
      • Once the invitation is accepted and the family group joined, go to your Microsoft account.
      • From your account dashboard, select the option to Install Microsoft 365 on all your devices to download and install the desktop apps and access your OneDrive storage.
    5. Sign in to the apps
      • After installation, open any Office app (Word, Excel, etc.).
      • Sign in with the same Microsoft account used to accept the family invitation.

    If the subscription owner does not see Start sharing or Share on the sharing page, that account is not the owner of a Microsoft 365 Family or Premium subscription and cannot share it.
