Windows 10: Sign in to Office 365 with Google account using new Simpler Sign-on

Brink · Jun 20, 2019

We’re excited to announce Customer Preview of simpler sign-on from G Suite to Office 365! Many G Suite for Education customers have told us that they’d like to use Office 365, but their students have trouble remembering two sets of passwords. With this new solution, they won’t have to, because they can just sign in to Office 365 using their Google credentials, and work side by side in Google Classroom and their Office apps!

We’re at the beginning of an exciting new journey to bring Office 365 to Google school districts. We’re starting by rolling out support in the United States for two of our most popular Education experiences – OneNote and Immersive Reader. These will run on Chromebooks in certain tech configurations. OneNote is a digital binder that makes it easier to store and share all your class materials, and Immersive Reader in OneNote is a powerful feature that’s proven to help students with reading differences improve their skills and comprehension. If you’re a G Suite for Education user, we hope these tools can help you achieve better student outcomes in your district. And we need your help. Please sign up to join the waitlist, and tell your IT admin to sign up too. Then try us out and let us know what you think.

How it works

We know that every minute of classroom instruction is precious, and we’ve heard that your students lose precious minutes trying to sign in to apps and devices. So, we've built a new solution that we affectionally call "simpler sign-on", featuring a tailor-made version of our popular Office Online extension for the Chrome browser. With simpler sign-on, once you sign in to your school’s Chromebook, you can be automatically signed in to Office 365 in just two clicks, without retyping a username or password. And there’s no need for you or your students to do any special configuration, because your IT admin can set it all up for you. We’ll even help them get going for free!

Store and share class materials with OneNote and Class Notebooks

Google Classroom is popular with teachers, and we’re here to make it even better with OneNote Online, our powerful digital notebook. With OneNote Online, your students can enjoy freeform notes and class materials that include text, photos, audio, links, embedded content, and more. OneNote Online even has an easy-to-use equation editor, equation solver, and graphing calculator. To learn the basics of OneNote Online, visit this support page.

OneNote Class Notebooks raise the bar even higher with a Content Library for handouts, a personal workspace for every student, and a Collaboration Space for lessons and creative activities. They’re a great way to store a whole “binder” of class materials all in one place, especially when you link to them from Google Classroom. There are also pre-built Class Notebooks that deliver content, such as:

Code.org Notebook

Open Up Resources Math

Open Up Resources English Language Arts

Mystery Skype Class Notebook

To save time, you can connect a OneNote Class Notebook directly to your Google Classroom and import your Classroom course roster. You’ll be able to create and distribute assignments in OneNote and push the grades back to Classroom, so you can view all your assignments and grades in one place. To watch a quick interactive video on how to use a OneNote Class Notebook, check out this short, interactive course on the Microsoft Educator Community.

Improve reading comprehension

With Microsoft Immersive Reader, you can empower students to independently improve their reading and writing skills. Immersive Reader is a free tool that offers text and math decoding solutions for students with learning differences such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. Its features include Read Aloud, Picture Dictionary, Line focus, breaking words into syllables, and color-coded parts of speech. Immersive Reader also increases fluency for English language learners or readers of other languages with real-time translation, and because it’s built into OneNote Online, it works great on Chromebooks. If you store your course materials as OneNote pages, you can empower your students with learning differences to read texts in the way that best supports their learning.

Interested in trying simpler sign-on?

We can’t wait for you to try our tools, and we look forward to your feedback so we can learn where to improve. Please sign up to join the waitlist at https://aka.ms/OfficeEduForYou and tell your IT admin to sign up, too. We’ll provide them with free guidance to help them evaluate if simpler sign-on is a good fit for your district. And if it is, we’ll help them set it up, for free!

Cortana Connected Home option is missing when signed in with Office 365 Account.

I am trying to setup Connected Home on my new Surface Book. However the option is not there when I am signed in using my personal Office 365 Account. If i sign in with my outlook account it appears. Can someone please advise if this is not available when
signed in with an Office 365 Account or if there is something special I need to do to enable it?

Office Hub: 365 Account

Hi there,

having issues in the office hub when trying to sign into my office 365 account. OneDrive and OneNote are working fine with the same account details.

when I sign in, it just says that an error was encountered and I'm taken back to the logon screen.

I can sign in fine from my pc in office and the office.com website works fine with my live account.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Office 365 on Continuum

The following steps worked for me (don't ask me how or why ):

Click any office app on windows phone.

In the screen, it shows New, Browse & recent files. It also shows my name/account at the top-right.

Clicking on you name/account at top-right shows 2 accounts associated with this application.

Personal Account

Official Account

Clicking on any of these accounts, only gives an option to sign-out.

Since Microsoft Support technical team suggested that I reset my device. I did not want to reinstall all the apps, take backups & then reconfigure all of these again after the reset, unless it was the only option left.

With no better option, I clicked sign-out on both the accounts listed in step 4 above. I then signed in with my official account. I was able to create new Office documents now.

I logged-in to my other personal account also now. My office app still worked & allows me to access onedrive associated with both my personal & business accounts.

I was facing the same issues & even had multiple calls with Microsoft Support & waiting for a resolution.

Going through the above thread, I realized that multiple Microsoft accounts (personal & office) are associated with these apps. When I signed out of both these accounts from within the app & signed back in, I was able to edit using the office apps.

Hope this helps!
