MS365 E3 promo page says it includes Visio, just like all the other apps listed
Hi, on page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/enterprise/compare-microsoft-365-and-office-365 the Visio logo is included along with other apps as being included in the Ms365 E3 product, with the call-out saying “Create flowcharts, network diagrams, Azure diagrams, org charts, and more.”, as below.
I would like to obtain this as a desktop app, just like the other apps listed. How to do that?

Thanks both for your replies. I realise that it is an add-on product, but the problem is that the way it is displayed as being included in MS365 E3 is completely misleading.
In Australia, and no doubt other countries, consumer protection law makes misleading advertising illegal. This is clearly misleading advertising.
I've also rasied this with MS Support in a related ticket, but no one there seems to care.

The page and flyout promise a service called Visio which allows you to create and view flowcharts. And this is what you get when you subscribe to E3. It does not promise that you get a local, Win32, standalone app. And no local app is needed to perform the tasks called out on the flyout. Not a lawyer, but I don't see this as 'clearly misleading'.
- Afaik you need the Visio standalone plan for that. The "bundle" plans, such as M365 E3 only include the web Visio client.
- manoth_msftVasil is spot on. Check this page out: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/visio/microsoft-visio-plans-and-pricing-compare-visio-options
