Updated December 11, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Play My Emails is a feature in Outlook Mobile that allows users to listen to new messages in their Focused Inbox and changes to their day hands-free through a voice-driven experience.
[When this will happen:]
We will begin rolling out the update in early January 2024 (previously early December) and expect to complete by late January 2024 (previously early January).
[How this will affect your organization:]
After this update, Play My Emails will no longer attempt to prioritize which messages are read out first. Messages will be read out solely based on chronological order.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
