Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps Feature Update for November 2021

With a bit of delay, most likely due to Thanksgiving, Microsoft released the November feature update of Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps in the Current Channel (previously known as the Office 365 Monthly Channel).

It doesn’t come with any new features for Outlook (nor for any of the other Office apps) but does contain 3 highlighted fixes and an additional fix for PowerPoint and Word which also affects Outlook.

  • We fixed an issue that caused users to experience an close unexpectedly when loading personas in PowerPoint.
  • We fixed an issue that caused an unexpected close when displaying a contact card.
  • We fixed an issue that caused users to experience an unexpected close when loading people photos.
  • We fixed an issue where some pop-up UI elements could not be clicked, such as the Join Meeting pop-up in Outlook or the Welcome Back pop-up in PowerPoint. (PowerPoint and Word)

Note: Depending on your installation type, this update can be installed via the Update Now button in Outlook or the Microsoft Store and updates Outlook to: Version 2111 (Build 14701.20226).
