- Microsoft bundled AI-powered Office features into Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions last year, but only allowed the primary account holder to access the AI benefits.
- Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers will now be able to share Copilot and AI usage features across the subscription rather than being limited to one user.
Why it matters: Until now, families paying for a Microsoft 365 plan were effectively locked out of the AI features Microsoft marketed as part of the bundle unless they bought individual seats, so per-user value was diluted. Unlocking sharing on Family and Premium tiers gives every seat on the plan the same Copilot access the primary account holder had.
