Can I Use My Office 365 Subscription on a Mac?

The short answer is yes! Microsoft is now offering its popular Office 365 suite on the Mac App Store, making it easier for Mac users to access all the apps in the suite, including Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

Multi-device Compatibility

If you have a home version of Office 365, you can use it on both Mac and PC machines. In fact, you can have a combination of up to 5 machines running the suite. This flexibility is a major advantage for those who frequently switch between devices.

Availability on Multiple Platforms

Microsoft's Office 365 is now available on the Mac App Store, but you can also access it on iOS and Android devices via apps and a web browser. For Linux users, you can only access the browser-based features of the suite.

Desktop App Availability

Once you have a plan that includes the desktop client, you will have the choice between the Mac or Windows version of the application. This means that if you prefer the desktop experience over a web or mobile version, you're covered on both platforms.

Browser Integration

Office 365 runs on any browser that supports HTML5. While the Edge browser is not specifically required, some users may encounter issues. If you're encountering problems specifically with Edge, simply switching to Safari or your preferred browser can resolve the issue.
