Why is the "play my emails" feature in outlook being retired in June 2024? I use it for 2 hours everyday, and it makes me much more efficient. Will it be replaced by another feature that reads my emails within Microsoft outlook?

    My Play My Email feature stopped working and I'm having the same issue with my Authenticator.

    I echo all the sentiments of the other users here. Please ensure there is a way to retain the functionality of listening to emails on our phones. This was a game changer for me and finally allowed me to feel up to date and on top of all my emails at work.

    I echo all these sentiments. Play my email has been an absolute life saver. I am trying to reduce my screen time and it enables me to walk and do my emails. I just opened outlook and it’s no longer there. This is an absolute disaster. Being on screen all the time is incredibly unhealthy and play my email is a really effective way to manage that. Please please please bring it back
