428 TopicsIntroducing Scheduling poll in Outlook!
Announcing FindTime as a native feature in Outlook! We are excited to introduce Scheduling poll, bringing the capabilities of FindTime as a native feature in Outlook.Scheduling poll is currently available to all users of Outlook on the Web and Mac. It is available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It is now available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Version 2308) as of January 2024, and will be available to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel later in June 2024. Users who do not have access to Scheduling Poll yet can either switch to the Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, or Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview in Classic Outlook for Windows; or they can use Outlook on the Web to create polls.Please goherefor more details on 'Scheduling poll' feature. What’s the same As we bring Scheduling poll directly to Outlook, users can expect to have a similar set of features and workflow as the existing FindTime add-in. What’s different Scheduling poll uses the same modern design and framework we use in the updated Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows, making it easier to maintain and enhance for the future. Important: What is happening to the FindTime add-in? The FindTime add-in will stop working and be removed from Outlook for Windows, Web and Mac. Scheduling Poll is the replacement feature, which is built directly into Outlook clients for all users as a native feature. When this will happen: You can expect the FindTime add-in to stop working as early as December 11, 2023. We will start making the change on December 11, 2023, and expect to complete it by the end of that week. How this will affect your organization: Once the change has rolled out users will need to utilize Scheduling Poll as a replacement of the FindTime add-in. When will the new Scheduling Poll feature be available? Currently, Scheduling Poll is available to all customers worldwide for Outlook on the web and the new Mac Outlook, except for those in GCC High. It is also available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It will become available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in January 2024, and to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel in June 2024. What will happen to my current user experience? When your tenant gets the update, the native feature will be added to their Outlook ribbon replacing FindTime (see more details to access Scheduling Poll here). Users do not need to do anything, this change will happen automatically, and users will be able to keep creating scheduling polls as easily as before. FindTime Deprecation FAQs 1. What does the deletion of https://findtime.microsoft.com/ mean? A. This webpage provides information about how to use the FindTime add-in and given that we are replacing it with Scheduling Poll, we are deleting this page. When users try to access this page post 12/12/2022, they will be redirected to the polls dashboard - https://outlook.office.com/findtime/dashboard. The add-in itself should still function as is. It will not be deprecated until Scheduling Poll is released to all supported Outlook apps - in Outlook web, Mac and Win32. 2. What do I need to do to transition from FindTime to Scheduling Poll? A. Nothing! When Scheduling poll is rolled out to your tenant, the entry point to the FindTime Add-in will be hidden and you should see a button to open the Scheduling poll pane in the Outlook compose ribbon instead (more details here). We have made UX updates to help improve the experience. The functionality should remain the same and you should be able to create new polls just like before. 3. What happens to my existing polls? A. All the polls you created through the FindTime add-in should remain active and actionable through the voting page and the polls dashboard even if the add-in is deprecated and replaced by the Scheduling poll UI. The only thing that has changed is the way you create a poll.Solved290KViews6likes125CommentsSchedule Send Option
Hi all, I just wondered, if our organisation applied their 'hours of work and location' to their profiles, would this assist with the schedule send option appearing at random times of the day. For example, it is 9:45am here and I sent an email to our payroll team and it said that their best time to send it is tomorrow at 3am. Rather than change it in organisational settings, can each employee do this for their individual hours? Thanks, AshleaSolved197KViews0likes6CommentsAutomatic Replies in Outlook - Insert Image n/a - PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
We use O365 for our business needs and recently came to learn that the insert image function is no longer available. As a company that uses an image to display our company logo, address and tagline in our e-signatures its is extremely frustrating to not be able to insert an image in our Automatic Replies when our staff are on vacation and want to create an Out of Office message. I have troubleshot this issue with Microsoft support and was given instruction to use a rule as a work around however this is NOT a good recommendation to what we believe is a HUGE problem since using a rule will send out of office notifications to every single email and not just one email to each sender as is done with notifications when using Automatic Replies. Please take note that we were previously able to insert images in automatic replies and now its gone! Not sure why Microsoft allows you to insert an image when creating an e-signature and even allows you to insert an image in Rules but not in Automatic Replies. Please review and consider bringing back insert image into Automatic Replies!

About a week ago, I noticed that all URLs were suddenly extremely long/obscure, and beginning with something like:https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= It destroys the URL visibility experience. I quickly realized that this was an Office 365 (E5) feature called ATP, but I'm not talking about Office 365 here but rather the consumer Outlook.com site. I need to find out if we're going to be able to disable this, and when. It's unbelievable that MS just foisted it on us, since it's not even in the vast majority of Office 365 plans! I realize that some people have been seeing it longer than one week.148KViews13likes73CommentsOutlook Templates keep disappearing.
I have noticed that my Outlook templates periodically disappear/are deleted from Outlook for the Web. I add several templates. Pressing My Templates while composing an email...works for a while...then one day they all disappear. Has anyone else been experiencing that lately? Thanks.79KViews1like28CommentsNew Outlook Working Offline Phase 1: Rolled Out with Limitations
***Update.7/29/2024: Offline Phase I is rolling out and should reach worldwide by the first week of August. ==>Here is the latest video:https://youtu.be/a9NmCLCmdak April's Video - Previous Status:https://youtu.be/Mo5FaFnQPQ8?si=huoXQgBqKTBC7muF The "first set" of Working Offline capabilities for the New Outlook for Windows will be available to all users. This feature will allow you to access your mail, calendar events, and contacts even when you're not connected to the internet since they will be stored on your device. You can also still perform important actions on your mail, such as flagging, moving, deleting, and composing new messages, to ensure your productivity remains uninterrupted even when you're offline while at the airport or home office. #traccreations4e #newoutlook 01/24/2024, 02/18/2024, 4/4/2024, 4/24/202475KViews4likes54CommentsExcessive Spam, Junk Mail from "geeksquad" email address?
Experiencing some frustration with the following, and thought to see if anyone else is having this issue and/or have found a solution. I've been getting an excessive amount of spam/junk for the last two months, and the majority of it is arriving directly in my inbox. While some of the messages do not have email addresses that I can see (and thus, I frustratingly can't add them/their domain to my spam/block list), the largest number is coming from the email addressgeeksquad@emailinfo.geeksquad.com This is obviously a "known" and "safe" email address for BestBuy's Geeksquad. I was reluctant to add it to my "Blocked Senders and Domains" list because I wouldn't want any legitimate BestBuy purchase/reminder/receipt emails being permanently blocked. Sadly, the number of emails haven't gotten so bad, I unfortunately ended up doing just that. What's more, I also removed the same email address from my "Safe Senders and Domains" list. Despite this, I'm still getting tons of spam from the above email address, and most is still arriving directly to my inbox. I'd be happy to just have these email redirected to my junk/spam folder at this point, but it's all becoming quit maddening and annoying. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon and/or was able to "fix" this from happening? Thank you, and appreciate your collective insight.73KViews5likes94Commentsoutlook.live.com not showing external images in messages
I can't get outlook.live.com to show images. I'm using an ancient account -- msn.com migrated to outlook.com, if that matters. But I also have an Office 365 subscription I'm using the service in a desktop browser. Up to a few weeks ago, things were fine. But now mailing lists that I subscribe to (like Harbor Freight Tools advertisements, or The Wall Street Journal, or Redfin search matches, or ...) aren't showing images. This makes email pretty much unusable, since there's no UI to explicitly allow images for that email message. I've added the email sender to my contacts and to safe senders. The mailing list is known to Outlook in the options -- seems like that's allowed, too. When I try to search for this issue, I end up hitting answers from 2012 which describe settings and menus that aren't in my UI. How can I get images to load? Why did they break? I tried digging a bit deeper: I'm looking at a message in the browser that has blocked images. If I'm looking at the message itself, I see this HTML for one of the blocked images: <img data-imagetype="External" blockedimagesrc="https://assets.bounceexchange.com/assets/uploads/users/4035/042221/HarborFreight/tc1-155.jpg" width="155" alt="automotive" class="x_width_95" style="display:block; margin:0 auto; border:0; white-space:pre; text-align:center"> but if I view the message's original source (using three dots / view / message source) then I find this HTML for the same image: <img src="https://assets.bounceexchange.com/assets/uploads/users/4035/042221/HarborFreight/tc1-155.jpg" width="155" style="display:block;margin=:0 auto;border:0;white-space:pre;text-align:center;" alt="automotive" class="width_95"> So it's very clear that outlook.live.com is translating the HTML and blocking the image deliberately.How can I make it stop doing that?59KViews10likes73CommentsOutlook Desktop Profile photo not showing
Hi Team We have hybrid environment and just recently migrated almost all mailboxes to EXO. Now I am having some problems with the profile photo not showing in Outlook Desktop Client only. The profile photos are showing correctly everywhere else across the O365 - Teams, Outlook OWA, Outlook mobile, but not on the desktop client. I tried manually applying via set-userphoto cmdl, but still not showing on the desktop client. Any ideas where I should focus to fix this and how to make it work seamlessly in the future ?51KViews0likes5Comments
