Microsoft Introducing Visio in Microsoft 365 | Windows 10

Today, I will explore Microsoft Introducing Visio in Microsoft 365 | Windows 10. Microsoft recently announced that Visio will be included in Microsoft 365. Previously, Visio was available only as a standalone app for purchase by people with specialized diagramming needs.

With this announcement, Microsoft recognized the increasing need for a diagramming solution that would allow everyone to convey information more effectively, bringing core Visio capabilities to Microsoft 365.

In July, Microsoft plans to roll out a lightweight version of the Visio in Microsoft 365 to bring visual diagramming and collaboration to all teams, which are especially important in this hybrid work environment. It will be available at no additional cost to all commercial license subscribers of Office 365 E1/E3/E5, F3, A1, A3, and A5 users.

Microsoft is providing early access to Visio for the Web in Microsoft 365 for those who want to start testing it now. To confirm your interest, sign up for Visio in Microsoft 365 early access. Microsoft will enable early access for a limited number of tenants.
