Here's what's new and coming soon to Visio in Microsoft 365!

Our worldwide rollout blog has all the details about getting started with Visio in Microsoft 365, but we're excited to announce several recent updates-some available now, and some coming soon to all Visio for the web users. If you've been using Visio in Microsoft 365 since it was first introduced to your tenant, you'll notice a couple new diagram types available from the Visio home page on Office.com; the first of these being organization charts. We realize that users of Visio in Microsoft 365 have different use cases and needs compared to long-time Visio users, and we've been busy working on new diagram content that can be applicable to a variety of users and industries, including business executives, marketing teams, manufacturing, healthcare, and education. For questions about which diagram types are included in Visio in Microsoft 365 or which plans include the Visio web app, check out our Visio for the web FAQ. Q: We have a Microsoft 365 commercial plan, but our users still don't see the Visio app tile on Office.com. Q: The Visio tile is lit up for our users; however, Visio does not show up in the Microsoft 365 admin center on the Licenses page. A: Visio in Microsoft 365 is not considered a separate license, but rather a web app-like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint-that is available to users as part of their Microsoft 365 license or as part of Office for the web. A: Yes, you can use Visio in Microsoft 365 to view, create, and edit Visio files in the Safari or Chrome browsers on your Mac.

Announcing account switching for Microsoft 365 web apps

Today, web users can only work with a single account inside of a Microsoft 365 web app, and to use a different account, they must either sign out, use an InPrivate browser window, or a different browser or device altogether. Today, we have some exciting news to share! Soon, Microsoft 365 web users will no longer need workarounds to use multiple work and personal accounts while using any of the Microsoft 365 web apps. Account switching in Microsoft 365 web apps is helpful in many scenarios. To get started with account switching, access any of the Microsoft 365 web apps referenced above and click on the account manager located in the top right corner. While a user can add multiple accounts in a Microsoft 365 web app, only one account will be active per app at a time. Users will still have the ability to switch between their Edge profiles, but we are now bringing the highly requested account switching functionality to the Microsoft 365 web apps. A. The account switching functionality is not available for Microsoft 365 operated via 21Vianet, or Microsoft 365 Government and Germany cloud environments.
