Using Outlook on Other Devices

Using Outlook on Other Devices

Jul 26, 2021

Using Outlook on other devices is very easy and will help you have convenient access to your email inbox.

Microsoft Outlook has lots of features that help you organise your work and personal life with the barrage of emails that flood in daily.

Most are familiar with using the Outlook desktop app, but away from your usual PC or Mac, you can still have access to Outlook.

Open any internet browser and browse office.com. Here you can log in with your email address and password.

Access to other Microsoft 365 Apps

You’ll have access in the left-hand menu, to all of the Microsoft 365 apps that you have a license for, including Outlook. As Microsoft is pushing users to the cloud, you will find that you have many if not most of the features that you are used to with the desktop app.

When receiving email on your iPhone or Android phone, it’s best not to use the built-in email app but to download Microsoft Outlook. Your organisation should have set up security in Microsoft 365 so that your company emails and data on the phone can be controlled and remotely wiped if the phone is lost or stolen. All of your email accounts can be set up in Outlook so that you can easily see all emails.

A very recent addition by Microsoft is the ability to listen to your emails being read to you. This is great if you want to go hands-free and listen to and delete, archive, reply just with voice commands.

Here’s a short video on the new feature (it mentions Apple iOS but is now added to Android as well).

Now, you’ll be able to see that using Outlook on other devices will help you access your emails anywhere you go.

Microsoft Lens – Use it, you’ll love it

Microsoft Lens – Use it, you’ll love it

Microsoft Lens – Use it, you’ll love it! Just like we do!

Microsoft Lens is an app that is an essential tool in my business, formerly called Office Lens.

It’s no longer a part of Microsoft 365 but a free app for Android and iPhone.

It’s better than your phone camera for capturing that PowerPoint slide at a conference, a whiteboard sketch, digitising business cards, your old printed photos, or my most common use of capturing receipts.

When I make a business purchase I will take a picture with MS Lens. You can see this in the screenshot below.
I’ve just purchased petrol. The receipt is on my car’s passenger seat and MS Lens has automatically selected the receipt, cropping it from the background scene.

Once you take the picture you can adjust the captured border if needed. MS Lens will straighten up an angled shot too.
Confirm the capture. In this next screen, you can crop, rotate, insert text, or add more pages of a document that you are capturing, etc.

Clicking ‘Done’ moves you onto the save screen (see below image). Here I’ll change the title so that my bookkeeper knows what the receipt is about. OneDrive, where I keep the receipts, is already selected because I used it last time.
Captured an article? You can even have MS Lens read out the text to you, maybe even in a different language with an immersive reader. Tap ‘save’ and I can dispose of the printed receipt.

 

Microsoft Lens

Microsoft has made some improvements to Microsoft Lens this year, including a few that I’ve mentioned above. You can scan up to 100 pages as images or pdfs. And by the way, colour is great in scans of printed photos.

Microsoft Lens has become an essential app in my business. Try it, I’m sure you’ll like it.
