Install the Microsoft 365 apps

Download and install Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint on your Mac.

Do this once you know your plan includes the installed apps. If you are not sure, read Which licence do I need? on this page first.
  1. Go to microsoft365.com/apps and sign in with the account that holds the licence.
  2. Click Install apps at the top right, then Microsoft 365 apps.
  3. A .pkg installer downloads. Open it when it finishes and follow the prompts. You will need your Mac administrator password.
  4. The installer runs on its own and takes several minutes. Leave it alone until it says it is finished.
  5. Open Outlook from the Start menu or Applications folder.
  6. Sign in with the account that holds the licence. If you are using a Personal or Family subscription, sign in with that personal account first, then add your work mailbox second.
  7. Follow the Microsoft 365 email guides on this site to add your mailbox.

Open the Microsoft 365 apps page →

You can install the apps on up to five computers, five tablets and five phones with the one subscription, so your work PC and home laptop are both covered.
If Outlook opens in the new simplified layout and you would prefer the classic one, use the New Outlook toggle at the top right of the window to switch back.
