Can I stop the calendar view moving down through the day in New Outlook?

Question

Can I stop the calendar view moving down through the day in New Outlook?

Thomas Bennett 26

When I go to calendar in New Outlook the view is positioned with the current time at the top of the calendar. It means I have to scroll up each time to see the rest of the day. I'm generally looking at what I have scheduled on other days rather than just looking at what is happening for the rest of that day. Is there any way to stop this from happening. I can't see any options to change this.

Hi Thomas Bennett

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum

Thank you for reaching out, and I completely understand how frustrating it can feel to have to scroll up every time you open the calendar.

The behavior that the calendar automatically scrolling so that the current time is at the top of the screen in Day, Work Week, or Week view is unfortunately by design in the New Outlook

Microsoft intentionally added this so that when most people open their calendar, they immediately see “what’s left of my day right now” without having to scroll at all. For users whose main goal is to check the rest of today’s meetings, it’s actually quite convenient. That’s why they treat it as a feature but currently have not provided a toggle to turn it off

Personally, I’m totally agree and understanding the convenient of being able to create a comment available read-only file in PowerPoint. It definitely great improvement to the current availabilities of Microsoft 365 apps. In that case, I sincerely recommend you go to Microsoft 365 Feedback Hub

I agree. Not sure who was polled to find out if this feature was helpful, but it is very annoying to have to constantly scroll back to the beginning of the day. I have my calendar set to see the whole week for client appointments and I'm constantly "losing" it when the time rolls to the next hour. It is definitely one of the many "new" features I'm not impressed with - at all. Can we work on that toggle feature any faster that will turn this "helpful" tool off?

I agree, this new update is very annoying. I've seen many comments about it, so it seems like most people don't like the auto scroll. You'd think they would have an option to toggle that feautre on/off.
