    Hi Scott,

    The company prefix should work but it is important that you add the other ones as well:

    https://*.microsoftonline.com

    https://*.lync.com

    https://*.outlook.com

     

    I had a case with a customer that had a reloading Chrome browser on every page of Office 365 and surprisingly that was fixed after adding https://*.office.com as well...

     

    The easiest way:

    I always use the https://*.sharepoint.com url, since that also helps when I get external access to other tenants as well. This is also the recommendation from Microsoft. But I can understand that you don't want the sites of all other SPO tenants added to your trusted sites as well.

    It may well be that it works better for you when you add the company prefixed urls to the intranet zone as well together with the trusted sites zones.
