Microsoft Outlook: Check-in to see who is working nearby in the office

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 5, 2024 Uncategorized 0 Comments

With this feature update, users will have the option to check-in for their planned in-office days to let others know they have arrived. To facilitate in-person connections, after check-in, users will be able to see their colleagues’ confirmations and planned in-office times. The check-in option does not appear if a user has not set their work location or has set it to ‘Remote’ or ‘Out of Office’.
