Video Messaging in Outlook Mobile

Video Unfurl and Playback will unfurl video links into a delightful thumbnail​ when reading an email that contains a video. Upon tapping the thumbnail, the user will be able to view the video in their full mobile screen with full screen playback. Video Unfurl and Playback will be available on both iOS and Android soon.

We’re also introducing Video Capture and Upload on Android: this will allow users to capture a video on their phone within the Outlook Mobile app and seamlessly upload the video to the email being composed. Upload will leverage OneDrive for Business, allowing the user to share videos of large size and length with OneDrive.

OneNote to Block Embedded Files that Have Dangerous Extensions

OneNote is making an important change to how it treats embedded files that have dangerous extensions. Previously, OneNote would show users a warning dialog when users tried to open an embedded file with a dangerous extension; users could open the file by choosing OK in the dialog.

With this update, OneNote will show users a dialog that will let them know that their administrator has blocked them from opening the embedded file that has a dangerous extension, to also align with the same extensions that Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint currently block. For a list of extensions, please visit Blocked attachments in Outlook.

Microsoft Authenticator Lite in Outlook

Authenticator Lite (in Outlook) is a feature that allows your users to complete multi-factor authentication for their work or school account using Outlook on their iOS or Android device. This feature will be enabled on May 26th for all tenants that have not disabled it. If you do not wish for this feature to be enabled on May 26th, move the state to ‘disabled’ or set user include and exclude groups prior to May 26th.

We always recommend having users download Authenticator to complete their sign-ins, where we can offer the most up-to-date security features. However, users that have not downloaded the app to their device can now approve authentication requests and receive TOTP codes in Outlook, bringing the security of Authenticator to a convenient location.
