Set up Recuring out of Office Replies for certain dates.
At my job we are on a 9/80 schedule so we have off every other Friday, so It would be nice to set up out of office replies like a recurring meeting on those days. Also would like to be able to schedule more than 1 out of office reply for the future. Long story short be able to give the same options as meeting request to out of office replies.

I agree with all other comments. I need to set up automatic replies for every non-working day (Thursdays and Fridays), as I work part time.
There are many people who would find this feature useful, in addition to those of us who managed to find this feedback form!
Thanks for listening to us!

This is vital and overdue. The lack of this function or expediating fro pandemic purposes where there is a clear need demonstrates lack of user understanding and out of date market knowledge, perhaps a competitor can show microsoft the way before everyone votes with their feet.

Totally agree with previous posts. Email rules mgr is not an alternative, since OOO status doesn’t show up in Teams.

It's hard to believe that this option is still unavailable in 2020 - especially with the amount of remote workers, or staff that have modified schedules due to the pandemic.

Please please have this idea implemented, I work in the public health sector, I and many of my coleagues work part-time. It is critical to our service to have effective communications and we need to build in safeguards like this to ensure vital measages are actioned on time. In times of national heath emergencies, this is even more important. Please take heed.

Rules Manager would lead you to believe that you have set up an auto-reply rule that responds when words in the header include either Saturday or Sunday only. However, my experience is that the rule runs inconsistently. Really, just fix the bug in Rules manager and we should be able to set our own auto-reply rules.

This would be so helpful. I work part time and it's very time consuming to have to re-set the out of office replies every time

I would like to have Outlook 2016/O365, have the ability to send an auto reply that I am in a meeting without having to configure a new out of office event every time
I would like to set a pre-defined out of office reply to a calendar meeting or appointment when received, or meeting or appointment I create. -

I agree please can you implement this. It's really frustrating having to turn it on twice a week.

How can this be 2020 and this option still missing?

Yes please for this. There are products people have linked to in the comments to schedule turning on and off, but I'd much prefer it was built in. Every part time worker could benefit from this.

allow the out of office feature to reoccur on certain days. i'm off on Wed & i have to remember every Tuesday to set up Out Of office feature. This is 2020 almost 2021 i know you have the ability to write the code to do this. After all you can set up re-occurring meeting on only certain days of the month or year. Let's get this fixed.
thank you. -

I've been looking for this feature (recurring out of office) for a long time and it would be absolutely wonderful to have this in a new version of outlook (or just an update?) Many thanks!
