    If this is a Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Premium subscription, add another person by sharing the subscription:

    1. Go to the Microsoft 365 sharing page: https://account.microsoft.com/services/office/sharing
    2. Sign in with the same Microsoft account that owns the subscription.
    3. Select Share or Start sharing.
    4. Choose one of these options:
      • Email invite: enter the person’s email address and select Invite.
      • Create link or Copy link: send the link by message or email.
    5. The invited person must accept the invitation. In some cases, they must do this within 48 hours.

    Important details:

    • Sharing is available for Microsoft 365 Family and Microsoft 365 Premium.
    • Sharing is not available for Microsoft 365 Basic or Microsoft 365 Personal.
    • The subscription can be shared with up to five other people.
    • The invited person becomes part of the subscription owner’s family group after accepting.
    • If the person is already in another family group, they must leave that group before accepting.
    • Do not use a product key to share the subscription.

    If the invitation is not received:

    1. Verify the email address used.
    2. Ask the person to check the Junk folder for a message with “Microsoft 365” in the subject.
