How to Add Microsoft Visio to Office 365

Microsoft Visio is already known as a diagramming software with stellar vector graphics to present your data. So make sure you can’t miss this application every time you open Microsoft Office 365 when you follow these basic steps:

• Step 1: Check All Apps Under Office 365

  

  Visit Office.com, sign in with your Microsoft account, and click the nine-dotted icon on the upper left of your screen. Then, click “All apps” where you can see the total list of apps under your Office 365 subscription. If you can’t find Microsoft Visio at all, then that’s where you need to use Microsoft Visio online and proceed to step two.

• Step 2: Visit Microsoft Visio Online

  

  Head to Visio.office.com or proceed to the Microsoft Visio Plan product page. The reason Visio isn’t on your Office 365 home page is that Visio has its own standalone subscriptions—the Microsoft Visio Plan 1 ($5 per user/month) and the Microsoft Visio Plan 2 ($15 per user/month). Take note of their differences before you buy it now or download Microsoft Visio for free.

  Note

  If you are tight on the budget at the moment, just click “Or try free for one month” on your preferred plan. Then, select “Continue” and “Try now.” You’ll be directed to the Microsoft admin page. Then, click “Users,” “Active users,” choose your account, select “Licenses and apps,” put a checkmark beside the Visio Plan you selected, and press “Save changes.”

• Step 3: Continue the Installation in Office

  

  Go back to Office.com and click “Install Office.” Then, proceed to “Other install options.” Go to “Subscriptions,” click “Apps & devices,” and select “Install Visio.” This option proceeds to install Microsoft Visio, complete the instructions given on your device to complete the installation, and you can access Microsoft Visio shortly.

• Step 4: Review Your Apps under Office 365

  When you go to Office.com once again, follow step one of this article. And since Visio was already installed, that means your list of apps under Office 365 should already include Microsoft Visio. Thus, you have just completed how to add MS Visio to Office 365.
