Outlook Add-In version history
outlook-add-in v0.1.5
(found in OpenTalk v25.2.0)
Changelog
This is the initial public release of the Outlook Add-in. Currently it supports creating, editing and deleting meetings. When creating or editing meetings, the following options are available:
- Title
- Description
- Start- and endtime/date
- Participants (including user search)
- Meeting details
- Waiting room
- Shared folder (if available the the deployment)
When a meeting is created, participants are invited via an e-mail sent by Outlook. Furthermore, we insert a link to the meeting room in the description and in the location of the meeting. The link in the location allows to quickly join a meeting from the calendar view without having to open the event details.
To avoid confusion, we strongly recommend disabling the "Add online meeting to all meetings" feature in Outlook. This default setting automatically creates a Teams meeting and adds a "Join Meeting" link to every Outlook event. For obvious reasons, this is confusing when scheduling an OpenTalk meeting. To disable this setting:
- Go to Settings > Calendar > Events and invitations
- Disable the "Add online meeting to all meetings" toggle.
