Reenable Location suggestions in Outlook Meetings

Hi all

Last week, I updated my Office license to include Copilot for Office.

Over the weekend, my Location row/bar/selection in Meetings has changed from the flexible Location Suggestions that suggested free locations as I typed to a simple dropdown.

I have no idea why.

How can I turn the the flexible location suggestions on again?

Thanks for any help.

    Hi Roger

    Thanks for your answer. It turns out it was a 'Fejl-40', as we say in Denmark. Error-40, human error. :)

    In my search for permance gains on my 16GB Ram laptop, I turned off the following setting, with the reasoning being, that I did not need additional features in Outlook. It turns out, that one of these features apparently was the Location Suggestions. Switching this back on returned the flexible show-results-as you type location suggestions.

    Have a nice day!

    It's not working for us STILL. The drop down list of rooms is there, but if I type in walmart or something like that I get nothing. Previously, walmart as the location would recommend the several locations near us, but not anymore. That check box is enabled.

    Hey!  

    It sounds like your settings might have changed after adding Copilot. Try checking your Outlook or Teams calendar settings — sometimes updates reset preferences. If that doesn’t help, your admin might need to tweak a policy in the Microsoft 365 admin center.  

    Let me know if you figure it out!
