How to add a signature to a meeting invite in new Outlook

Question

In the old version of Outlook I could add my signature block to a meeting invite by selecting insert/signature. I can't see where this option is in new Outlook. My impression is that Microsoft has arbitrarily removed this functionality.

Hi @Gerry Pigney

The option to add signature to a Calendar invite in the new Outlook it doesn't seem feasible at the moment.

In addition, I have submitted this request on the official feedback portal. I will leave the link below so that you or others can also vote or comment there when they see this topic. Hopefully, Microsoft will take notice of this in the future.

On the View tab, select  View Settings. 

1. Select Accounts > Signatures.
2. Select  New signature, then give it a distinct name.
3. In the editing box below the new name, type your signature, then format it with the font, color, and styles to get the appearance you want.
4. Select Save when you're done.
5. With your new signature selected from the list above the editing box, go to Select default signatures and choose whether to apply the signature to new messages and to replies and forwards.
6. Select Save again.

I got the exact same problem. My company is working on implementing a 3rd-party add-in to generally manage signatures which should solve this problem, however there are problems with the implementation in my country. In the meantime and as a workaround, I always open a normal email message and copy & paste the signature from there. Normally I really like the new Outlook, especially because it's much faster and I'm actually able to work with it, but things like this are just annoying. On another note, it seems like I can't add new paragraphs (Enter button) here when typing in a mobile browser, so sorry for the awful formatting...
