Outlook add-inโ€‹

Descriptionโ€‹

YuChat provides an add-in for Microsoft Outlook that allows you to create call rooms directly from the email client interface.

With it, you can easily create call rooms in YuChat (call rooms) directly from the Outlook client.

Plugin Installationโ€‹

To install the plugin, perform the following actions:

  1. Request the distribution from the YuChat team or in YuChat Support.

  2. Create a local directory for the plugin, for example yuchat-outlook-add-in.

  3. Copy or move the distribution to the previously created directory on your PC.

  4. Open the Outlook application or web version.

  5. Authenticate as the user for whom you need to install the plugin.

  6. On the ribbon, select the Home tab โ†’ All Apps.
    If the Outlook client has a simplified ribbon configured, click the ellipsis button ( ... ) on the ribbon, then select "All Apps".

note
  • Starting with Outlook for Windows version 2303 (build 16215.10000), the All Apps button replaces the Get Add-ins button on the ribbon for viewing installed add-ins and accessing the Office Store.
    If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, you will see the Get Add-ins button instead.
  • If you don't see the All Apps button on the ribbon, your administrator may have disabled add-ins for your organization.
  1. Depending on your classic Outlook version or account type, select Add Apps or Get Add-ins.
