Summary:
Starting May 16, 2024, Microsoft will require add-in developers to prompt users for device permissions on Edge and Chrome for the web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. A Device Permission API will be available to facilitate this change. No admin action is required before the rollout.
Details:
As of May 16, 2024, Microsoft requires add-in developers to prompt users for camera, microphone, and geolocation permission in these Microsoft Office applications:
Web versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook on Chromium-based browsers (such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome).

Add-ins that run on Office on Windows, Mac, or Safari already have prompts in place.
To allow add-in developers to prompt their users, we are releasing a Device Permission API.
[When this will happen:]
