GAL sharing between tenants (Exchange Online / Outlook)
Is there a way to share directory info (Global Address List / GAL) between two willing M365 organizations? I feel like it should be as simple as this screen (attached screenshot, Exchange Online Admin Portal menu 'Organization' > 'Sharing', but this is just for calendar info. Where/how would I approach this, other than writing my own customer powershell solution (I've thought about it) or buying some 3rd party or installing MIM or something complicated or expensive like that? I was hoping for something as genuinely simple as this Organization > Sharing menu... just with contact, instead of Calendar only-information (which is only useful if you know the address or information of the user or group you're trying to email or schedule a message with. :)). I've been googling but not getting very good results. I'm kind of shocked this isn't a feature or common scenario that partner organizations would desire when both on a collaboration platform like Exchange/Teams? We've all had that scenario where we're like "Who's that new sales rep at orgY?" so we can include them in an email... the GAL is invaluable, it seems. I've been working in non-profit for 25 years and we've had this sort of setup since the first days of Exchange 5.5 and Galsync ~2000. I don't understand why this is a more commonly demanded or available feature, or why I can't find any documentation on this or voice of other customers that would seem to want it (a few posts here and there). Any thoughts or experts? Is there an easy way to do this between two tenants that aren't part of the same billing same AAD etc., just orgX.onmicrosoft.com wants to share contacts with orgY.onmicrosoft.com. Man, my specificity here tonight makes me realize I've been peer-programming with ChatGPT too much tonight. : ) Have a good night all!

Hello Tech Community, StephenRice and I wanted to reach out and get your feedback on a new feature that is rolling out for OneDrive, SharePoint and Word! We’re excited to release a new capability that allows you to share a Word document that forces recipients into Review mode (where they can make comments and tracked changes only). When users share a Word document, you’ll find a new option in the Link Settings page to enable the Open in Review mode feature. This feature is only supported for Word on the web at this time. Users who open links with these settings in the Word desktop app will see a bar across the top of the client letting them open the file in Word on the web to leave behind tracked changes and comments. Open in Review Mode for Word on the web is currently available in First Release and we’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts!

NEW VIDEO N. 346 Pronouns are the words we use to replace someone's name in a sentence, such as “he,” “she,” or “they” in English. The ability to allow people in your organization to display their pronouns on the profile card is OFF by default for your tenant. If elected, after you have turned pronouns ON, it is optional for users to add pronouns to their profile. Pronouns will be shown next to the name in the top section of the profile card in Outlook on the web and Teams. Pronouns will be visible to everyone in your organization.
