Does my work Outlook account need admin approval to connect to Muse?

It can. The page notes that work or school accounts may be gated by your IT admin, while personal Outlook.com accounts connect right away.

What can Muse do with Outlook?

It works with your mail and calendar scopes: summarizing unread email, pulling next week’s invites into an agenda, and drafting replies you approve before they go out.

Read events, brief you before meetings, find free slots and draft invites. Creating or moving events should always wait for your approval.

How do I disconnect Outlook from Muse?

Go to Muse → Connectors → pick the app → Disconnect. The page says it takes about 10 seconds.

Outlook x Muse

What it can access

Mail + calendar scopes. Work/school accounts may need admin consent.

That includes Outlook Calendar — mail and calendar are one connector, not two, so there is no separate calendar connection to set up. Meeting briefs, conflict checks and scheduling all run through this connection.

What this connection can do. Meta has not published official OAuth scopes for Muse connectors.
