my school has registered for all the other software except for the office, nice!

I really want to know who thought this was a good idea. Charging for something that has always been free and the free version now is worse than the paid version. Which the free version use to be. So now in order to type my work because my teacher doesn't have the work on google docs I either have to go to the computer lab or drop 150$ or 70$. what a joke.

Hi Sir,
Can you make a video on different office 365 education plans (like a1, a3, a5) ? and clarify some of the doubts like
1) Whether these plans should be bought only by the administrator or students can buy on their own?
2) Which services are available for which plan ? (although it was mentioned on website, it's bit difficult to interpret)
3) Whats the difference between personal account and the account that was provided by the institution?

Kevin I created an account a few years ago and given a 5TB OneDrive storage. This was in 2018. Whilst I can still access the account for others task such as word and excel etc. its accessing folders I've created and uploaded via OneDrive is the issue. "Something's not right" comes up each time. I've managed to find eventually after two years a list of administrators, one of whom is a OneDrive admin, but the email response says that it cannot reach the server (Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups). I can see all the files and folders. I failed to do a backup. Any suggestions on what I can do other than emailing admin? If your response is too sensitive for youTube do you have a contact system I can use?

Hey Kevin, whenever I login in office 365 with student account and try to install office, it doesn't show other install options due to which I cant download ms office on my desktop.

[justinabenson]

Even after you graduate from that college do you still have access to the account??

What happens when you finish your course does it still work on your computer or does it stop working?

Thanks for the GREAT info.
I advise schools on how to utilise tech for student with dyslexia. I love the Learning Tools functionality and promote it a LOT. Many of my students and teachers I work with have Office 2016 or older and therefore cannot use them. I advise them to use speak selected text and Word online. Word online immersive reader is great for reading but not great for creating and editing students ownwork.
I had no idea students and teachers could get the intstalled version free. Personally I have paid 365 account.
Yes lovely shop I was watching a Microsoft training video on Office Lens that said anyone in education could get it for free. I then started dto research how and that is how I found your helpful videos.
When I followed the link you provided it is clear that schools have to be enrolled in the scheme.
When I click down onto this I saw a pricing page.
From what I see the A1 option is only for online versions. Which appears to contradict the information in your video and on the previous Microsoft video I've watched.
Please, please, please advise as I am currently creating videos about Microsoft learning tools and immersion readers for my students I want to give them correct information. If I tell busy teachers they can get Microsoft office 365 for free and they spend time trying to do so unsuccessfully I will be very unpopular.
Many thanks for your help.

Are there any extra applications you can use with the 365 student subscription compared to the free online version of office? For instance is one drive with 1TB also available when you have no subscription?

Hi Kevin, please advise how a teacher can use team and which microsoft plan will be required.

[emiterionicolas]

Thanks for a very helpful video. I am planning to factory reset my laptop and I'm worried about uninstalling the Office apps and not be able to use it again. I just found out through the website that my school is eligible for all the Office apps. I didn't even know that access to the apps are covered in our tuition fees. This is such a neat way to maximize our university's resources. I'm super happy. 🌸🌸💕💕

Hi Kevin, I have Microsoft 2016 installed on my computer. I am taking an Access class and had to download Office 365 to be able to have Access 2019. I signed in with my school email thru my 2016 app. Does this automatically update my app to be able to have the 2019 features I need to complete the assignments? I am completely lost. Thank you in advance.
