[Dislike]:New Message / Reply Cursor in BODY not TO
New Messages and replies place the cursor into the message body instead of the TO: field, which our users are finding to be irritating and not in keeping with the offline outlook defaults and experience.
The cursor should be in the TO: field as the usual workflow is to add emails, then possibly CC:, and Topic field... then the user clicks into the body.

Enable clicking the Browse with Room finder option in Ootw Scheduling Assistant
Currently, Browse with Room finder option is unclickable and does not provide any room option if we click it when we try to add the conference room from Scheduling Assistant in Ootw calendar.
We can select the option by using arrow keys and Enter key but using the keyboard every time is inconvenient. It would be great for our operation if we can click to use the Browse with Room finder option in Scheduling Assistant.20 votesFixed it, Thanks for the feedback!

Suggested Reply - Eliminate text recommendations or make them opt-in only
Suggested words and phrases suddenly started appearing for me in my Outlook for web a few days ago without any prior communication or action on my part, and without my consent, either.
They are annoying and intrusive, and forcing them on me was presumptive, rude, and hateful.
I know exactly what I want to say and take great pride in my writing and my editing ability. When I want input from others, I will ask for it. I DO NOT NEED (NOR WILL I EVER WANT) SUGGESTIONS from an automated AI.
Please disable them and only make it an opt-in…

Make To field the default active field when creating a new email
When writing a new email, Outlook opens up a new email. The cursor briefly flashes in the To field and then jumps to the main message. You end up writing the recipient's email address in the main message not the To field. The cursor should not jump to the main message field.

Add an end meetings early option
I love the "end meetings early" feature recently introduced into Outlook desktop. Being able to end meetings 5-10 minutes short allows more time for travel or bathroom breaks for people who have back to back meetings. Can we have a similar feature in OWA?

Upgrade to Office 365 with premium Outlook features

I want the Calendar page to be opened natively in the different tab
It would be great if the Calendar page could be opened in the different tab when clicking it, because now it opens in the same tab.
7 votesPlease try using CTRL or CMD when you click on the calendar icon. That should open it in a new tab!

All Day Cal events no longer scroll in Chrome
In the last week, the Office 365 calendar in Chrome browser has stopped scrolling through all day events.
Meaning we have 10 all day events listed, only 5 are displayed and we need to scroll down to see the other five 'all day' events for that day....and it suddenly stopped working.
I hadn't installed a Chrome update prior so assuming the issue was MS based.
Again, this is just scrolling through multiple 'all day' events at the top section of the calendar. Doesn't matter if view is in day, work week or week.
I installed Chrome update after this started…

Search function for GAL references on OWA
The ability to refer to GAL on OWA has been restored.
However, it is very inconvenient for tenants with more than 50 people, even if they can refer to GAL but have no search function.
I just want the same functionality as the desktop Outlook.
I am confident that this request will be approved by many users.
Best Regards,
6 votesThe ability to search your directory when using the GAL/Contact Picker has been made available.
