Microsoft brings Sunrise Features to Outlook Products
When Microsoft acquired Sunrise, the popular “Better” Email & Calendar company, it promised that its popular feature will make its way to Microsoft’s Outlook Email, Calendar, and where the features make a fit. Today, the company is finally getting these features live on Outlook Products on Android, and iOS, with few still on the way.
Subscribe to NFL or TV shows :
Termed under Interesting calendars, you can subscribe to local events, and TV shows. This is also possible from the web, and you will need to do manually. Also this feature is right now available for Outlook for iOS users with an Office 365 email address (coming soon to Android). Users with an Outlook.com email address will be able to subscribe later this year, with Gmail and other accounts to follow.
Coffee Icons for your Event:
If you are crating an event based on keywords like Coffee, Tea, Lunch or anything else, Outlook Events will try to find the best suiting icon, and put it up next to it. More personalised, and makes more sense.
Create Event with Maps:
You can create an event using a location which makes it lot easier for anybody to find its way, and be on time. When you open the event, it shows a preview, and then you can use your favourite navigation app to make it to the event on time.
Updating Events Sunrise Style:
You will be able to make changes to an existing event much easily, as the app will use the Sunrise Style date and time packers which allows to update on the fly. I guess they will be neat inline pop-ups. You can shorten the meeting time by dragging the timeline. You will also be able to edit Recurring meetings from your mobile devices which is integrated with Skype for Business.
