(Updated) Video Messaging in Outlook Mobile

Updated August 7, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Video Unfurl and Playback will unfurl video links into a delightful thumbnail​ when reading an email that contains a video. Upon tapping the thumbnail, the user will be able to view the video in their full mobile screen with full screen playback. Video Unfurl and Playback will be available on both iOS and Android soon.

We’re also introducing Video Capture and Upload on Android: this will allow users to capture a video on their phone within the Outlook Mobile app and seamlessly upload the video to the email being composed. Upload will leverage OneDrive for Business, allowing the user to share videos of large size and length with OneDrive.
