MC684213 – Microsoft is excited to announce that admins now have a self-serve way to disable roaming signatures themselves for their tenants for Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App or OWA) and the new Outlook for Windows. Please note that for Windows, the registry setting to disable roaming signatures will continue to work and is the only way to disable it. For more information, see Outlook roaming signatures.
When this will happen:
Microsoft will begin rolling it out mid-October 2023 and expect to complete it by early November 2023.
How this will affect your organization:
This change provides an option for admins to disable roaming signatures themselves. Previously, the only way to disable roaming signatures in Outlook on the web was to open a support ticket and ask to have Outlook roaming signatures disabled in your organization. Going forward, this support ticket process will be discontinued as admins can now disable roaming signatures themselves.
