We initially licensed Z-OptimiZr for Web Browsers years ago to use it with HCL iNotes. Later on, we migrated to Microsoft and we were surprised to see that Z-OptimiZr was working perfect with Microsoft OWA and Outlook 365 on the web, and this with no reconfiguration or re-installation needed!
Today we also use it with SharePoint Online and Teams.
