Will you support interactive email notifications on desktop Outlook for Mac and Windows? Currently, you need to access Outlook on the web to get that level of full interactivity, especially when posting videos or link to videos.
- Fully interactive alerts from Yammer are working in Outlook for Mac and Windows today. The only thing I'm seeing different in Outlook web is the Communities / Viva Engage app.

Yes, we run interactive emails in Outlook desktop, mobile, Mac, and on the Web. There are some slight differences between the platforms, owing to the different underlying frameworks that support the desktop/mobile/Mac version of Outlook versus Outlook on the Web. Our goal over time is to have fewer of these inconsistencies so that everyone gets the same experience regardless of which version of Outlook they use.
- Spencer_PerryHi Juan, Yes, the feature parity between different Outlook platforms is an area we're explicitly working on right now. Our vision is for all Outlook users in Windows and Mac to have the same experience between desktop, Outlook on the Web, and mobile. In terms of videos and links, we're especially looking at how we can embed the content in emails viewed in Outlook desktop to match the app and OWA today. I don't have timelines for that work yet, but we know it's an issue and we want to fix it as users include more rich media in their posts. There are also updates coming to various versions of Outlook that will help solve some of these problems as well, so please stay tuned as we address from both the Viva Engage and Outlook sides. Thank you for the question! We know Outlook is so important for our customers' networks, and we want to make the experience as amazing as possible.
- Jason_MayansWe're working with the Outlook team to continue to improve the experience for Windows & Mac -- stay tuned!
