To open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access Cause This issue occurs because Visio Web Access invokes the client application by using the ms-visio:ofv u documenturl protocol, but Visio Viewer doesn't support or process this. You can use Visio for the web without a license to view basic Visio files. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account, upload the Visio file to OneDrive, and then select the file there to open it. The file opens in your browser in Visio for the web, giving you the ability to see the file in read-only view. Get access to Visio files and view diagrams in Microsoft Teams or in any browser if you are a Microsoft 365 user or download Visio Viewer 2016 for free. Change language.
