Kevin Stratvert
youtubeMicrosoft 365 and software-tutorial YouTuber, ex-Microsoft program manager.
Kevin Stratvert built his early career at Microsoft as a program manager, working across OneDrive, Office, and other consumer-and-business product surfaces over more than a decade at the company. He began publishing tutorial content on YouTube while still at Microsoft and pivoted to full-time creator work as the channel reached escape velocity, with formal departure from Microsoft completed around 2020-2021.
The channel covers an extraordinarily broad surface area: Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, Windows 11, Power Automate, ChatGPT and Copilot, and a long tail of adjacent tools that knowledge workers use day-to-day. Videos are 5-to-20-minute tutorials structured around a specific task ("How to make a graph in Excel", "How to use Outlook rules"), aimed at beginning-to-intermediate users. Production is high-volume and consistent: the channel typically publishes multiple videos per week with predictable thumbnails and a recognisable presentation style.
The audience is mostly non-technical knowledge workers, students, and small-business owners learning to use Microsoft tools and increasingly AI features. Channel growth has been steady at very large scale through 2022-2025, with the December 2025 subscriber count at approximately 5 million. Stratvert's 2025-2026 publishing cadence has incorporated significant AI-feature coverage (Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini) while maintaining the core Microsoft 365 tutorial backbone.
Our Take
When ShadowGen clients onboard non-technical staff to Power Automate or Copilot, we recommend Stratvert's tutorial library as orientation reading. The breadth lets a single creator carry a non-technical user through most of the Microsoft estate without context-switching. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
What Sets Kevin Stratvert Apart
Stratvert combines authentic ex-Microsoft program management background with a YouTube production discipline that makes the channel one of the most consistent software-tutorial libraries on the platform. The Microsoft 365 + AI tutorial overlap is currently unmatched at his subscriber scale.

High-volume 5-to-20-minute task-focused tutorials with consistent thumbnails and presentation. Beginner-to-intermediate audience framing.
Standout Content
His 'Power Automate Tutorial for Beginners' is the most-watched Power Automate tutorial on YouTube by a wide margin. In 25 minutes, he walks through creating your first flow, understanding triggers and actions, connecting to common services, and using conditions and loops. What makes it exceptional is the pacing — he assumes zero knowledge and builds understanding systematically. It's become the unofficial 'first lesson' for thousands of organizations adopting Power Automate.
