    Yes it will! Note you don't need to go to a Beta channel at all (I see that listed in the red circle for About Outlook). You could choose "Monthly Enterprise Channel"

    (meaning you don't have to go all the way into "insiders" since this is a fully released product as of September 2023. For the SAC/DC releases the ink to text pen went on by default in code in July 2024).

    One other note for enterprise/commercial customers -- the ink to text pen (as well as the Windows Ink Anywhere/Shell handwriting feature) requires access via the Microsoft Store/Windows Store to download handwriting models for the requested languages.

    I just adjusted some settings to allow o365 insider... and did a test on my computer. I don't have a pen or touchscreen, i was just seeing how to enable this. If I do this for our user with the pen\touchscreen is this going to get us to where we need to be?

    Yes! Bumping to monthly enterprise channel would work as we rolled out to MEC channel last year.

    thanks!

    If I bump up the channel updates to monthly… this feature will be available?
