Consistent Office Experience Across Devices with WebView2

For a seamless user experience, it's essential for Microsoft Office applications to look and feel consistent across various devices. One way to achieve this consistency is through the use of WebView2, a rendering engine that powers web-based features in desktop applications using Microsoft Edge.

If WebView2 Runtime isn't installed on the device, users won't be able to take advantage of certain Office features that rely on it. This includes Office Add-ins, which will also start utilizing WebView2 as they become available. For instance, the Room Finder feature in Outlook will provide a consistent experience across devices running Windows and those using the web-based version.

By leveraging WebView2, Microsoft is able to deliver Office features that appear identical across different device platforms. This consistency helps users learn and utilize these features without having to adapt to specific nuances of Office on each device platform. The Meeting Insights feature in Outlook is another example of a feature that will benefit from this consistent experience.

Microsoft 365 Apps are starting to introduce new or improved features that rely on Microsoft Edge WebView2. As these features become available, users can expect a more uniform and intuitive experience across all devices. With the power of WebView2, Microsoft Office applications will continue to evolve and provide users with a more seamless and enjoyable experience.
