hello folks welcome back to the key
productive YouTube channel now some news
if you don't know it yet today is a day
that Microsoft Doge from office 365 to
Microsoft 365 and what I want to do
today is just sort of outline what that
means and also share with you some of
their plans and changes to their new
Microsoft 365 personal and family plans
and some of the new features that you
will be getting in that and those plans
so without further ado guys let's dive
into today's video so folks on March the
30th Microsoft announced that my soft
we're changing office 365 to Microsoft
365 and I imagine this is an effort to
sort of centralized programs and make
things less complicated but this is
rolling out today on the 21st of April
so they have also introduced new
Microsoft 365 personal and family plans
in an effort to sort of get this sort of
nice balance between work and life I
think they're definitely seeing a sort
of big movement in this space and a lot
of people using their software and
apparently this Microsoft 365 update is
because more than 38 million people
subscribed to office 365 and naturally
get access to the application so it's
gonna roll out across the next couple of
weeks and a next couple of bumps
apparently so they are adding a few
additions to the lineup one thing we've
covered here on the channel before is to
Microsoft Editor
this is a grammarly competitor that
allows you to essentially make spelling
and grammar and conciseness and
formality modifications inside of your
word it's also a Chrome extension as
well as an application that would be a
part of the personal and family plans so
you'll get much more with that now the
second thing is they are upgrading the
PowerPoint apparently you can become a
banner editor in PowerPoint
by using this rehearsing feature which
allows you well I think it uses AI it's
like a presentation coach that basically
adjusts or recommends that you adjust
your pitch speech refinements very
impressive actually and even giving you
grammar suggestions and improvements to
been afraid your speech which is very
cool a very interesting sort of new
feature and that's not just the only
thing that Microsoft are doing with
their PowerPoint they've got this new
feature called creativity which will be
available in Word Excel and PowerPoint
but the design ideas feature essentially
improves the way that your powerpoints
are set up giving you recommendations I
think they're probably adding this
feature because a lot of people are
looking at applications that are coming
soon like pitch which is a new sort of
PowerPoint style application which
actually is developed by the champs you
developed Wunderlist
so very very interesting and now we
available through Word Excel and
PowerPoint and talking about cell they
apparently have a new seamless way to
manage finances in or money in Excel
with the integration that connects with
bank accounts credit cards apparently
this is powered by played not heard of
those before but you can upgrade your
finances there I know a lot of families
tend to do this and actually have money
money sort of set up and organized with
their family in Excel spreadsheets they
don't necessarily use like a specific
tool for it but they just go to Excel
because it's their their solution so you
can get the checking and credit accounts
investments and credit that other credit
accounts all inside of this application
so you can connect them all up which is
pretty cool
fetch the data for me and there we go on
the right hand side you see that
fidelity has just been added in on the
left hand side all my line by line
updates across now all the accounts that
I have in here I love the simplicity of
this tool of being able to manage
everything kind of all in one across my
cards my banks in my accounts helping me
to relieve some of that mental load of
keeping track across multiple accounts
money in Excel also generates a personal
monthly snapshot for me right here and
that's not again more Excel coming at
you they've added essentially exploring
subjects in detail with data types and
smart templates so for example if you
just say like track your food and you
put two pancakes in there and you want
to be able to see like data on like the
calories and things like that it's got
more WolframAlpha data being added in
it's it looks a little bit sort of like
they're trying to take on notion with
this and adding this context but you can
see what I mean by this sort of visuals
but that is going to be quite exciting
and it apparently can access anything
from data types images facts and stocks
and geography which seems very
interesting and turning our heads to
outlook outlook actually apparently is
getting a bit of an upgrade in terms of
in Outlook calendar they're looking to
get you to weave your work and personal
calendars together
yeah stay on top of our days with the
new couple of calendar features I can
actually add my personal account right
here I've previously connected my gmail
account and with a quick toggle switch I
can include my personal events in my
availability and what this does is allow
my co-workers to see my personal
commitments as blocked time allowing us
to find mutual calendar available and
potentially avoid conflicts this has
probably been a problem a long time and
obviously a while ago outlook bought
sunrise so obviously they have that
technology in there but append
essentially they're trying to bring and
weave together plans inside of that so
you'll be able to connect up personal
calendars soon and I think I talked
about that a bit before about Skype and
Microsoft teams you soon will be able to
call Skype accounts via Microsoft team
so if you're at work and you want to be
able to connect with your family you can
do so and apparently the new team's
application will weave in a lot of the
family stitching so that you can keep
communicating with your family account
here Nadia and her family are planning a
family reunion later this year at this
point it looks like what you'd expect
from a standard chat app but let me show
you how teams is different and let me
show you how teams is helping Nadia and
her
we plan for this reunion I want to
introduce you to the dashboard up here
at the top right this is a collection of
all the important pieces you'd want at a
moment's notice within your group
upcoming events shared locations files
and the like in the chat you may have
noticed that Maya had asked for her
family's frequent flyer miles it's
located right here in the safe where
nadia also keeps important passwords
account information and rewards numbers
we've also made it incredibly easy to be
able to share those things with your
group inside the safe all the data is
stored under two-factor authentication
and end-to-end encryption so does it
give you any worry this chat also has a
shared group calendar everyone can
easily and edit important events such as
flight times and dinners and then gives
you the ability to see how busy the
weakest now one of the biggest updates
that they had was something around and
protecting your family so Microsoft
Family Safety essentially allows you to
protect them in the physical and the
digital worlds essentially you can have
and see all of your family how they
spent their screen time today where
that's on like Xbox on Windows on
certain games on Android and and
apparently that is gonna help families
become a bit more stricter on where they
spend the time in as a family so
apparently this new mobile experience is
coming to iOS and Android for MS 365
subscribers and obviously that be
incredibly valuable from for those
personal and family plans
and with this information they can sit
down and have a conversation about you
know what is the proper amount of time
to be spending on this device and how
can they help him develop healthier
digital habits they both agree that they
can set a guideline on one of his
favorite entertainment apps and when
Elliot selects this app he can set an
applet that will go across all of his
son's devices and he can choose to set
this for a specific time of day or even
a different limit depending on if it's a
weekday versus a weekend and apparently
they're gonna be the same price but more
valuable which is always good so the
Microsoft personal plan will cost $6.99
US dollars a month and also a family
plan for better value is up to six
people and will be $10 will $9.99 per
month so that's gonna have a lot of
things and if actually got this really
neat breakdown in which you can see a
sort of outline of what you've got the
great thing is you know with the
Microsoft personal plans you can go a
lot further which makes it a lot easier
for people like me you want to have a
Microsoft account and just have the
ability to you know regularly you know
do abilities without just using the free
version which you get some limitations
on so that is some of the upgrades that
Mike stuff are having a very interesting
lineup and something that I will include
links to in the description below but
folks hopefully you found that useful
please do check out our Microsoft team's
features and of course will continue to
cover Microsoft in the future so folks
thank you very much talk to you all very
soon please do subscribe if you're new
and thank you very much
