Set up your Work Hours and Location in Outlook on the web!
In support of managing hybrid work arrangements, Outlook on the web offers a convenient feature known as Work Hours and Location (WHL). With WHL, users can establish their preferred work hours and specify their location, indicating whether they will be working remotely or in the office. This flexible feature allows for customization of daily working hours and the inclusion of multiple work slots.
Furthermore, when WHL is configured, the location information will be visible in the user's Teams profile card, providing additional context for colleagues. Additionally, WHL has an impact on scheduling meetings in Outlook on the web. The "suggested times" feature now takes into consideration the WHL of the attendees, ensuring that proposed meeting times align with their availability based on their defined work hours and location.
By incorporating WHL, Outlook on the web enhances the management of hybrid work environments by facilitating communication, optimizing scheduling, and promoting collaboration among team members.

Andres- ineichenmCopper ContributorThanks, but the question was if the WHL feature, which has predefined locations "office" and "remote" can have more than those two locations, i.e. "office NY" "office DC" and "remote".

Thiraviam5316 Is there going to be a continued effort to refine the Hybrid meeting management in Outlook on the web and Teams (microsoft365.com) capabilities? I often might support multiple "alternate worksites" within a standardized two week, monthly, or even quarterly period. I do appreciate any effort to aid in providing simple connections for colleagues.
