I need to figure out how to set up out of office in Outlook 365, as the settings menu does not appear as it is on my account and the option of automatic reply cannot be found anywhere. Am I missing a step?

Any advice as to where precisely to empower it?

If you’re wondering how to set up out of office in Outlook 365, here’s the clean way:

• Open Outlook 365 (web or desktop version)
  
  
• Go to File → Automatic Replies (on desktop) or Settings → View all Outlook settings → Mail → Automatic Replies (web)
  
  
• Enable Automatic Replies
  
  
• Set your message and schedule (start/end time if needed)

Sometimes the menu looks different depending on your subscription or organization settings, so make sure you’re signed in with the correct account.

I ran into this issue too. In Outlook 365 (web version), it’s a bit hidden compared to the desktop app. You need to go to Settings (gear icon) → View all Outlook settings → Mail → Automatic replies. That’s where you can enable your out-of-office message and set start/end times. Make sure you’re using the web app, because the options look different from the desktop client.

You’re not missing a step. Try Outlook on the web instead: go to outlook.office.com > Settings (gear) > Mail > Automatic replies. Some work accounts hide this option in the desktop app, but it’s almost always available online.
