To stop allowing users to simply click the number and connect causes significant inefficiencies for using Outlook while travelling. This is making the app unreliable and incredibly frustrating.

Bring back the capability to tap on a phone number within a calendar invite and the phone will call that number or conference line.

With the recent update I am not able to use calendar invite one touch dial anymore through my phone. Can we please have this feature back? I do a lot of conference calls and it was very convenient to dial one touch with conference code.

The previous version of Outlook had the one-touch dial in for conference calls with codes enabled in the Location field. This no longer works and even a call in number isn’t hyperlinked to dial automatically. Please add this feature back!! The format used to be like this: 888-535-0454,, 8185026772#

My company requires that we use MS Outlook on our mobile devices (along with comp portal etc.,). Earlier, I was using Boxer email app on On my iPhone. Boxer email app was able to recognize numbers and passcodes in the calendar / email and present clickable links for all possible dial in options, enabling one click dial in.
For dialing into conference calls, would be great if outlook is able to recognize dial in and passcode provided in the body or location in calendar and provide a one touch clickable link That opens the phone app, dial the number, pause a few seconds, then enter the passcode.
It’ll be good to have the easy hands free (and SAFE!) capability to join conference calls with one-click than to manually dial in and punch in the passcode and hashtag to join my calls. This is obviously a major nuisance.
Common solution to request the meeting organizer to format the dial in codes to mobile friendly one click format isn’t always feasible . This is something that the app should be able to identify to a certain level of accuracy and provide dial in options to reinforce its learning
Hope that we can get this feature on outlook email app as well

Reinstate feature where conference call line followed by three commas followed by passcode and a hash sign will show up as a single link in a calendar item. This will allow one-click dialing and log in for a conference call.

This use to work with the number in the “location” (preferred) or if in the body of the text. Now the number in location is “grey” and cannot be clicked to dial.

Error since recent update after iOS13. Conference lines for Skype no longer “click to call”. Previously having the number in the “location” field would allow calling. You could format “1-888-555-1212,,123456#” and dial in with a single press. Please restore.

I’d like to be able to click on a conference line from the meeting location field to join calls. This used to work, but was removed in the latest update.

Seems like the latest update won’t allow for clicking on addresses and conference bridges as I used to be able.

It would be great if you added one field for conf call numbers so we wouldn’t have to look back and get it. Both mobile and computer. So many people look for this.

Hi, it would be great if the phone conference meeting details would be visible in calendar items. E.g. Webex or Hangouts Meet links and codes. Most meetings are now through such services in big companies.
Cheers

Make the phone number for conference calls a link to dial directly from the appointment instead of having to memorize the number and go to the phone to dial.
Should dial the number for you when you click on it.
Thanks!

We had this feature in the container solution from blackberry. Now people are missing it.
All dialin numbers got recognized and you could select the one you wanted to call. -
