Home office and virtual meetings have made it more difficult to plan events on-site.
Announced at the end of February, Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows can plan In-person events. With an In-person event, organizers signal invited people that they would like to hold a personal event on-site.
For an In-person event, Outlook inserts the addition [In-person] in the subject and a small symbol with a building in the calendar entry.
When confirming an in-person event, recipients can specify whether they are attending on-site, virtually, or classically via the Yes status. With Yes, the person keeps all options open. The latter answer will not help the sender when planning an In-person event.
Outlook summarizes which people are participating and how Iin the status of the invitation.
