Zoom in Office Pro Plus
I am on "Current Channel" with "First Release" enabled in the admin portal. I am on Version 1610 (Build 7466.2038). But it is still not available!
As per this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mt465751.aspx, the "zoom" feature was released on August 16, 2016 with the Version 1607 (Build 7167.2040) in "Current Channel". And, I am on the November update in the "Current Channel", then why am I not seeing this feature?
The update channels surely are weird.
I am on the same version as you and I have Zoom enabled (finally). What helped for me is reinstalling - just downloading the installer via O365 and run it again. This of course is a "witchcraft" fix, but it worked for me. Give it a spin. I guess we have to wait for MS to fix this update channel mess.
Finally. Got the zoom feature automagically when the Version-1612 Build-7668.2074 update was applied. Strange!
According to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt455210.aspx Current Channel releases from July to Oct 2016 should have been included in the Feb. 2017 deferred release. However, Zoom - which was added to the Current Channel in Aug 2016 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mt465751?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396- is not included on the list of features for the Deferred Channel in Feb 2017 (even though other features from that month were included).
Anyone know why it was delayed? Will the Deferred Channel need to wait until June now? Just curious how depending the flowchart on the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt455210.aspx will be in helping to forecast when the Deferred channel gets new features. Thanks!
Thanks Dennis.
As a matter of fact, I am on "First Release" under Settings > Organization Profile > Release Preferences. In fact we have the entire organisation on First Release.
Which is why this baffles me!
Per your suggestion, I shall try re-installing directly from the portal, but that shouldn't be the solution IMO. That would defeat the purpose of our ODT repository on-premise!
