Family Plan

To join a Microsoft 365 Family plan that is in a spouse’s name, the subscription owner (husband) must invite the account, and then the invitation must be accepted.

1. The subscription owner signs in to the Microsoft account used to purchase Microsoft 365 Family and goes to the family page: https://account.microsoft.com/family.
2. On that page, select Create a family group if one doesn’t exist yet, or use the existing family group.
3. Select Add a family member.
4. Enter the email address for the account that should join (the account in question).
5. Choose a role (Member or Organizer) and send the invitation.
6. Open the email sent to that address and select Accept.
7. On the invitation page, select Join now to join the family group.

After accepting and joining the family group, Microsoft 365 Family is automatically shared with that account. The invited person can then sign in at https://account.microsoft.com to install and use the Office apps.

Note: If already in another Microsoft family group, it is necessary to leave that group before joining the husband’s family group.
