Three levels of service

There are three levels of service available depending on the browser you are using and the operating system (OS) of your device.

• Best: All features will work.
• Good: Most features will work.
• Light: The browser will display the light version of Outlook Web App.

Different browser combinations and if possible use the browser to support best

Light Outlook on the Web

If your device can only support the light version, Outlook on the Web is still very useful as it provides most of the main functions but with fewer features. For example:

• You can read and send email but it doesn’t have its own spell checker.
• You can schedule appointments or meetings but not view your calendar by week or month.

In addition to this, the light version is HTML-based, which means it can work better with assistive technologies such as screen readers.
