Less Common Causes
-
Metered Connection feature is turned on
Outlook add-ins (like the Camosun Cybersecurity button) may go missing if Metered Connection is turned on for your current network connection. For example, if you are using a mobile hotspot, Metered Connection might be enabled to reduce data transfer. This add-in behaviour is by Microsoft's design.
When connected to networks outside of Camosun College (i.e. home networks), this setting can be found under Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > The Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to > Turn off Metered Connection.
-
Simplified Ribbon is turned on
If you have enabled Simplified Ribbon, the Camosun Cybersecurity button might be hidden behind the drop-down menus. For instructions on editing or turning off the Simplified Ribbon, see this Microsoft article.

You are reporting from an unsupported mailbox
Outlook add-ins are designed to activate in the user's main mailbox and shared mailboxes via delegated. Add-ins do not activate in folders from other user's mailboxes, archive mailboxes, group mailboxes or public folders.
