When focused on the calendar grid, you will be able to navigate the time slots on the calendar via left/right/up/down arrow keys in day, week, and work week views. #newoutlookforwindows While rolling out this feature, we detected an issue specifically affecting Outlook on the Web in the Safari browser. Because of this, we have opted to roll back the existing progression to temporarily remove support for Safari. We have now restarted the rollout and support for Safari is planned to be added by mid-2025.
