Hello, this is my first time posting here. I was recently tasked with pushing an integrated app to our users in Outlook. Specifically, the "report phishing" button. See here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/step-by-step-guides/deploy-and-configure-the-report-message-add-in?view=o365-worldwide

My question is, will this only be pushed to those who are running the O365 versions of Outlook? Majority of our users are still running Outlook/Office 2016. I want to know if those users running 2016 will get the integrated app as well. If not, we will need to move everyone to O365. Thanks for reading.

    Hi, so the “Report Phishing” button is an Office Add-in that can be deployed to your users through the Microsoft 365 admin center. The deployment options available depend on the Office application you’re targeting and the type of add-in you create.

    For Outlook, you can deploy add-ins using the Exchange server for both on-premises or online environments. This means that it should be possible to deploy the “Report Phishing” button to users running Outlook/Office 2016 as well as those on Office 365.
