Last year, Microsoft integrated AI-powered Office tools into its Personal and Family subscription tiers, but access was restricted to the primary account holder. Starting soon, the company is expanding those benefits, allowing Family and Premium subscribers to share Copilot and other AI capabilities with up to five additional users on the same plan.
In a recent email to subscribers, which was reviewed by The Verge, Microsoft detailed the upcoming changes expected over the coming months. The update ensures that all members of a shared plan will have access to Copilot, AI usage features, Office applications, and OneDrive storage allocation.
This is a smart way to increase subscription value without raising the monthly price. Win-win for households!
Wow, five additional people? That’s huge. I assumed it was still locked to one account like last year.
Is this going to cost extra per user, or is it really included? I need to check the fine print carefully.
Finally! My family can actually use Copilot instead of just me paying for it alone. Great move by Microsoft.
