    Yes. Visio for the web is available with Microsoft 365 commercial plans, and it is also available through Visio Plan 1 and Plan 2.

    To access it:

    1. Open a browser.
    2. Go to https://www.office.com/launch/visio or https://visio.cloud.microsoft.
    3. Sign in with the work or school account that has the Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription.
    4. If Visio does not appear in the left app list, select the app launcher, then All apps, and select Visio.

    To create or open diagrams in Visio for the web:

    1. Sign in to Microsoft 365.
    2. Open OneDrive for work or school or a SharePoint document library.
    3. To open an existing file, upload or select a .vsdx file.
    4. To create a new file, select New > Visio Drawing.

    Important details:

    • There is nothing to install for Visio for the web.
    • The best experience is with the latest versions of Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari 10+.
    • If Visio still is not available after signing in, Visio in Microsoft 365 may not have rolled out to the organization yet.

    Dear @J. Liao

    Since Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes lightweight Visio web capabilities, you can access Visio directly through your work account.

    How to Access Visio for the Web

    Option 1: Direct Web Link

    • Navigate directly to visio.cloud.microsoft.
    • Sign in using your Microsoft 365 Business Premium work credentials.

    Option 2: Via Microsoft 365 App Launcher

    • Sign in to microsoft365.com with your work account.
    • Select the App Launcher (the 9-dot grid icon in the top-left corner).
    • Click All apps and select Visio from the list.

    Option 3: Via OneDrive or SharePoint

    • Go to your OneDrive or SharePoint document library.
    • Click + New at the top and select Visio drawing to create a file immediately. Create a new file in a document library | Microsoft Support

    Important Troubleshooting Notes:

    • License Verification: If the Visio tile does not appear in your app launcher, ask your Microsoft 365 IT Administrator to verify that the Visio for M365 license component is enabled under your assigned Business Premium subscription.
    • Capabilities: The Visio web version included with Microsoft 365 Business Premium supports core flowcharts, block diagrams, and basic shapes. Advanced diagramming features (such as UML, cross-functional flowcharts, or the Visio desktop application) require a standalone Visio Plan 1 or Visio Plan 2 add-on license.

    Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
