Hi, chiragshukla, For updates about the preview features in the Microsoft 365 Insider program, you can subscribe to our LinkedIn newsletter (which can be delivered directly to your inbox) or you can also subscribe to our blog's RSS feed (which you can manually add to Outlook). Hope this helps! 🙂 ~Susan Microsoft 365 Insider TeamPresent more effectively and inclusively with video and closed captions in PowerPoint for the web
Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders, We're back with an exciting new feature from PowerPoint! Who watches videos with closed captions or subtitles 100% of the time? We do! Now #PowerPoint for the web supports inserting videos with closed captions and subtitles. Originally, designed for people with disabilities, we now realize that captions are beneficial for so many reasons: watching videos quietly without disturbing others, heavy accents or foreign languages. Whatever your reason, inserting closed captions and subtitles in your embedded PowerPoint videos will allow you to both connect with your audience in the format they are familiar with while also being inclusive of people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Hello Office Insiders! While the Office Insider program is not new (it was announced in 2015!) and we've had a Microsoft Answers forum since our inception, we haven't had a place for Insiders to talk about announcements for the program. The time is now and we wanted to open this space to create conversations with you and build a closer connection. What will we use this space for? To tell you about new program developments - like the new Office Insider for Business section we just launched on our website! What will we *not* post here? We won't be posting our Build Updates here. Those will remain in the Microsoft Answers community. (The reason for this is because we need to be able to move these threads around to different forums within Answers for triage help from our experts.) If you have issues or problems with a build, please post your question in the Office Insider Answers community and you'll get help there! Also, don't forget to sign up for our newsletter. Follow us on Twitter. Read our blog. Stay connected! Again, we're happy you're here. We'd love to know your thoughts about being an Office Insider. What do you want to see from this program? What can we do better? How do you want us to connect with you? We are committed to building a community and having honest and respectful dialogue with Insiders like you! - The Office Insider Team -Rewrite in Word - Say it another Way!
Ever found yourself repeating phrases or looking for better expressions when writing in Word? Check out the new feature running in the Insider channel for Windows Office Insiders called Rewrite in Word to quickly find alternative expressions for phrases in your writing. We've got a great feature deep dive by Office Engineering PM Zhang who explains why we made this and how cool it is! https://blog-insider.office.com/2019/08/12/rewrite-in-word-say-it-another-way/Re: Welcome to the Office Insider Community
ron S. , We actually do have an Office Insider forum in Answers, but it appears that something is causing the filter to get stripped out, which we will get fixed ASAP and I'll repost the URL in the above. In the meantime, if you go to the main "Microsoft 365 and Office" forum and filter in the Topics for "Office Insider", you'll find it! Thank you so much for alerting me to this issue! It helps everyone! Cheers, SusanRe: Office Insider 365 New Function Xlookup update to Version 1909 (Build 12026.20000)
Hi, Kishore, The Xlookup function is still in beta right now and only available to a portion of Office Insiders. It should be rolling out to 100% of Insiders over the next few weeks. We appreciate your patience! Read more about it here! https://support.office.com/en-us/article/xlookup-function-b7fd680e-6d10-43e6-84f9-88eae8bf5929
