I had been using Outlook 2016 for Mac for a pretty long while. Then, one day, out of frustration of not having feature parity with Outlook 2016 on Windows, I spun up Parallels and begun working within my Windows 10 environment for the past year.
Recently, after a long weekend of ‘disconnecting’ and keeping the Windows environment powered down, I decided to give Outlook 2016 for Mac a chance again. Don’t get me wrong, there is still not feature parity between Outlook 2016 on Mac and Windows, but I’ll deal…for now.
On the plus side, the CPUs ran a LOT less hot, and battery life was much improved. Yeah!
Then, I encountered a problem that was a first world problem, but nonetheless, annoying…
While creating a meeting invitation and adding in a Zoom Meeting, using the Zoom Plugin for Outlook, the contents of the Zoom meeting invite would be pasted in the email … at the bottom of the thread … not at the top.
Yup, #FirstWorldProblems
