How do I preview a wav file in the new outlook without having to download the file?

Anonymous

When I switched from the old Outlook to the new Outlook, I no longer have the ability to preview voicemails sent as wav files. Instead, I am prompted to save to OneDrive or download the file.

I found a solution for this today, worked for me when I tested it and my end user who requested a fix.

I went to default app settings and changed the default for .wav to the legacy Windows media player. It was the newer version of media player before I changed it. After closing and reopening Outlook it worked.

Nope, this did not change the New Outlook behavior for me. After closing and reopening New Outlook and single-clicking on the WAV attachment, I still get the immediate Save As dialog; if I click the drop-down arrow on the attachment, my only options are Save to OneDrive, Copy, and Save As.

What version of the New Outlook are you and your end user running?

I just use the drop down menu/arrow on the attached file in Outlook and choose 'Quick Print' and pick video player. Works for me as I only use it a few times a month,
