Quick Poll Not Working in GCC
I am creating a new Quick Poll described in this article. When my recipients try to vote on the poll from within the message using Outlook Web App they are getting a message "The remote endpoint returned an error (HTTP 403). Please try again later." When using the link embedded in the message instead of the built-in voting tools it works fine. Important to note that this is happening in our Government tenant and not happening in my commercial developer's account.What’s new and coming to Microsoft Outlook – Ignite 2024

Do you need time to finish a project? No problem – Ask Copilot to find reserve focus time for next week, “Find 3 hours of focus time next week before Wednesday”, and done! Now you can focus on your project.

As we continue to work on your feedback to bring you the best experience for the new Outlook for Windows, there are some updates we want to share. Where we are We reached General Availability for commercial customers this year and are still in opt-in phase with optional policies for organizations that want to move their users into new Outlook. To see all our adoption content please visit https://aka.ms/newOutlookAdoption and continue sending us your feedback at https://aka.ms/newOutlookFeedback to help us prioritize our work. What to expect Over the past few years, we have been in an opt-in phase for the new Outlook. As we plan to transition to an opt-out model, some organizations have already begun migrating on their own. We anticipate that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with Microsoft 365 for business plans will begin to be moved into this phase starting in January 2025, and with customers withMicrosoft 365 for enterprises licenses following in 2026. Importantly, there will still be an option to revert to the previous version if needed. In the coming year, we expect more organizations to expand their piloting and planning efforts for the new Outlook. During this phase, we encourage you to file DCRs and submit feedback both within the app and through your account teams. Graph showing the current state and estimated timelines What to do next The new Outlook migration journey has 3 main steps. Pre-migration, migration, and post-migration. Pre-Migration: During pre-migration, admins and their IT teams should learn as much as they can about the migration - What the migration entails and the implications for their organization. This also involves early migration piloting. Migration: The migration step is when the migration is executed. Piloting continues and the migration process evolves and becomes more extensive. Post-Migration: Finally, in post-migration, IT is wrapping up the activities from the second step. They’re also decommissioning the previous experience and learning to improve subsequent migrations. Graph showing the migration stages for the new Outlook for Windows Plan your migration Review the migration kit - https://aka.ms/newOutlookAdoption Admin control options - https://aka.ms/newOutlookControlRelease Learn about policy management - Policy Management - Deploy Office Prepare to manage updates and set up early adopters on Targeted Release Transition from COM to web add-ins - Migrate from COM to web add-ins and review a list of available web add-ins. We hope all these updates help you be more productive, save time, and plan your migration to the next phase. Please, keep sending us your feedback – It really helps us focus our work. Thanks!
How to copy the location from an existing calendar item
Subj says it all. I created a calendar item with the location no problem. I needed to make more calendar items using the same location, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to copy the location data. Clicking the location opens a subform that lists the address however there is no way I can find to copy it. I ended up typing teh address in notepad so I could copy/paste into the calendar invites. What am I missing? Or is this another "improvement"?Outlook is not showing image for new posts in MS Teams Channel

Using Bookings to register people for scheduled events?
Hi: I want to test if Bookings could be a good solution for this activity - or if there's a better way within 365. I will run six workshops in Zoom (scheduled via Outlook) next year. I want to send a communication to about 300 people from a range of organisations inviting them to sign up for any or all of these sessions. Probably be able to accommodate up to 200 people per session. Is it possible to use Bookings to have them sign up for the workshops, and get an invitation sent to them, AND have them added to our Outlook appointment attendees (so we know who they are)? If so... how?! If not, is there another MS365 product or feature that would enable this?
