Right click paste not working in Outlook 365

I had a co-worker with this same problem and I think I've figured it out!

Depending on which browser you're using, you'll need to adjust the settings for your browser.

Edge:

• In the upper left-hand corner of the browser bar there's a little lock icon.
• Click the lock icon and under "permissions for this site" we found that clipboard was blocked.
• Change "block" to "allow" for the clipboard

Chrome:

• In the upper left-hand corner of the browser bar there's a little lock icon.
• Click the lock icon, then click "Site Settings"
• Under Site Settings, look for one called "Clipboard" and change the settings to "Allow"
• The default is "ask" so it will always ask you and if you accidentally block your permissions, it will turn them off.

Keera Jordan - amazing! Thank you! All sorted. :)

Great help, thank you, although my Chrome was slightly different. This worked:

Change settings for all sites

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More (the three vertical dots) >> Settings.
3. Click Privacy and Security >> Site Settings.
4. Look for outlook.office.com (or it might list automatically)
5. Scroll down to Clipboard and select Allow.

Doesn't work for me. I'm using Firefox. There's no lock icon anywhere in the window, or elsewhere on the screen. No settings for this anywhere in the program either. Also, and I stated this before, I only have this issue with my office 365 mail. My live mail hasn't had this problem. This is defiantly something Microsoft did. It's been this way for so long, I doubt if anyone there cares or wants to resolve the problem.

I'm with you on this, John. I use Firefox and Edge on a PC running Windowes 11 to access my Outlook e-mail on the web (outlook.live.com/mail/). There is no lock icon on the upper left of the browser window or anywhere else I can see. Perhaps it is visible if using a different operating system or a device like an android or other smartphone?? This thread is supposed to be about the right-click context menu lacking a paste option rather than access or permission to access the clipboard. In any event, I have access to the clipboard in the right-click context menu because I am allowed to Copy. The problem is Paste is missing from that context menu. Microsoft should fix this. Why have Copy and not have Paste? Copy and Paste have been the Yin and Yang of editing for decades.
