Enabling pronouns in Microsoft Teams and Outlook on the Web
As of June 2, 2025, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ students and employees can now add pronouns (e.g., she/her, he/him, they/them) to their Microsoft 365 profile card—the card that appears when you hover over your name or profile photo in Microsoft apps.
