Removal of Sounds in Rules in Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.807.100 (Production)?

Question

Began testing the "new" Outlook via the toggle in the top right.

Are rules no longer capable of playing a sound? All of my existing rules that had a sound in them are no longer editable or usable. I tried to recreate the rules, but cannot find the "Play a sound" option as an "action."

Hi @Freddie Lozzi

According to your description, I noticed that you have encountered some problems when using New Outlook, currently there is no option to play sound in the rule settings of New Outlook for the time being, please understand that many features have not been designed at present.

 

Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. To get this feature quickly, I've found similar feedback on sites dedicated to collecting feedback, and you can either vote for it or post yourself the features and sincere suggestions you expect. We sincerely welcome your suggestions and thank you for your understanding and support! 

In addition, if you have a great need to use these features that are not available in New Outlook, it's suggested that you could turn off the New Outlook button to switch to Legacy Outlook. 

Hope this helps!
