Right now, that function is not available. It is on the roadmap for November 2025! I know it’s a favorite for inbox searchers, so keep an eye out and in November it should be added to your New Outlook.

This is currently not an option but look for it in December of 2025! This feature is on the Microsoft Roadmap. Once launched, you should be able to add the signature just as you did in Outlook Classic.

A client called in last week with this issue. He was using New Outlook and when he went to the Zoom.us online account and scheduled a meeting, the ics download would not launch to add to his calendar. This also happeneded using the Zoom desktop app. I too then tested this and found the same results with my New Outlook. The isc file default was also set to New Outlook, and the ics file would not even open in the downloads. Very strange, so I had to think a bit harder on this one. What I didn’t realize what was going to happen with someone using the zoom.us online scheduler and New Outlook, so I learned a bit about this with the client.
Then I remembered an older post I put up and just to show you how fast New Outlook can change and the apps. What I posted on this post back in Jan, has already changed. The app name has changed actually.
You can search for “Zoom Outlook” and you will see what options you get. I had two options and tested one of them and it worked. Then I launched New Outlook, went to my calendar and added an event and the Zoom calendar showed up. You will need to log into your Zoom account first, then it should stay for next time.

If you’re an avid user of Outlook Classic like me, the New Outlook might take time some time to get used to. Once you are familiar though, the 365 apps will be fun for you to use I believe. Most of the big players will have apps available for you to use instead of the prior software requirements of downloading and installing on your computer. Zoom for example. Zoom has a 365 connector for you to use and then you can schedule directly in your New Outlook calendar. But what is coming, is all the new start up tech companies wanting to get in the game. In time, I expect to see apps for just about anything we want to do!
I’m also out exploring other apps you can use and from what I have seen, many are affordable to add on. I’ll review what I have found so far! None of these companies have paid me to be on this list nor am I earning an affiliate marketing commission. Just sharing for your information.

When you get your new computer, Microsoft will have you go through a set up wizard. During the set up, you will be asked to log into your computer with a Microsoft account. If you have your older computer there, look at the “settings” in that computer and find the email that you logged in with. That is the email you should log in with on your new computer. It will set up OneDrive as you had it on the older computer and download all of your desktop items, documents and whatever else you have stored in OneDrive.
If you want to only use your local C drive, there is a way to not set up OneDrive but it’s a bit of work and lately I haven’t been recommending it. In the past, some of my clients who wanted this didn’t know how much time it took and the possible issues in the future. What can happen? OneDrive might still be not set up, but it could still pop up one day and you click on a button and all of your local data is now uploading to OneDrive. Which can cause a lot of issues and problems.
A workaround?
Set up OneDrive and then chose to change your default save locations for your documents to be the C drive documents. Like this path: C:\Users\LisaE\Documents
I can help with this and helping you with avoiding OneDrive.
