Kind of a misleading title. This is not the fully featured Microsoft 365, but the "lite" web version.

For an optimal experience and to reduce the likelihood of dozing off, adjust the playback speed to 1.25x.

Let's fix the title. HOW TO USE THE FREE VERSION OF OFFICE 365

[wolphin]

This is a bit deceptive... you are showing how to access the web-based apps NOT to get the locally installed applications which are part of the Microsoft 365 subscription, which to me was what I thought the title was going to tell me how to do. Better title would be "How to use the Microsoft 365 Web-Apps for Free. And how they have most of the features of basic functions of the paid desktop apps. Their functionality is also much slower than the desktop app. What am I 'getting' or receiving by what you show... nothing. You are showing how to access a website.
It should also state that it uses the OneDrive for storing the documents, and that is the only place the web-apps can access directly.

Wait a minute, what's this, where's Kevin, not even a mention.

[salvadorfonseca]

What people don't understand is while free. You don't get the desktop app for free and the online apps are as up to date as the desktop apps, so some of the features might not be available or refined like the desktop apps.

[broderp]

What's the catch and what features are missing?

[davinp]

Note that there is no web-based version of Access or Publisher. You will need to use the desktop app

[geerliglecluse]

This video is misleading. You'll get reduced functionality, not the full product. You'll still need to pay for full-functionality Office 365

[mikestubbs]

When you click on SAVE to your computer, where exactly can you locate the copy? It doesn't seem to appear on my desktop anywhere...so I'm baffled as to where it's ended up?! Help!!

[SidsEClassroom]

You are showing the process to use a website. Its just like Google's Documents, etc. Just a click baity title.

[khorajia]

The drawback that I experienced recently was when I had to edit a Statistics Question paper on the web (Online Word). I wasn't able to edit because everything that I had previously typed in desktop word was seen as a messed up document on Word Online version. So this may be useful for simple text only documents. But if you use any extra feature, like math formula in my case, then office online is a poor substitute.

So With Microsoft 365 basic there are desktop versions but I’d like to know if there’s an exception to Teams as it’s not stated clearly...the desktop app is very important... thanks for your replies

[blueegg]

information is good but i will personally use old versions offline.If i have to use cloud based office apps i will go with google docs.

[jameelabduljalil]

This is how to "use" not get Microsoft 365 for free.

[BijayLimbu]

Developer Edition is another way to get free Microsoft 365 which includes desktop version of office too.

[Warren]

It's not free once your 7 day trial is over. you won't be able to do anything with it.

I am in India. Last month while in US - Fremont, I purchased HP Laptop with windows but the MS Office was free for only 5 days. I bought the key after returning to India.

[viktormaksimovic]

Well. Why dont you just show the activation codes for microsoft 365 instead of using microsoft products on web?

[cookmaster]

With your document / spread sheet being on line is there a risk of some one in Microsoft being able to access the file and misuse it
