Quote:Microsoft has announced a whole bunch of features for Outlook on various platforms that are aimed at improving meeting controls, email management, and overall productivity through the tool for Microsoft 365 users. The updates also bring parity between the mobile, desktop, and web clients, for many of the features.

While some features are new, some of them are hitting general availability and have been in testing with insiders. The company has listed the improvements in three major sections – “Spend less time preparing for meetings, Protect your personal time, and Manage your calendar to stay balanced”.

The first section lists the improvements that are being made to improve efficiency when creating and preparing for meetings. One of the additions coming to Outlook on Android is meeting insights. The feature provides files, emails, and other information based on the meeting specifics to help users prepare for their meetings better, without having to collate all the data necessary. On the web, the feature lets users see meeting details right from within relevant emails and take actions such as add recipients, and update meeting details.
