Can I remove Bing maps from Outlook 365 ProPlus?

Question

I was just upgraded to Office 365 ProPlus and now have "Bing Maps" showing up in my emails. Is there a way to remove/disable this from Outlook?

Answer 1

In Outlook, click on the file menu and scroll down to the bottom of the Info section and select "Manage Apps". This will take you to a webpage managing what add-ins are setup by default (probably by your administrator). In here, you can simply disable the Bing Maps add-on and it should no longer show that bar.

It's important to note that this is a different add-in section that previously mentioned here. This Manage Apps button is in the info page, not under options.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1. Go to the browser version of outlook and go to options. Here is a direct link https://outlook.office365.com/ecp
2. Click on add-ins on the left
3. Click on Bing Maps
4. On the right side of the screen you will see a link to disable.

This is the only place I've found to disable it.

Answer 3

Follow all the steps above and uncheck "Outlook Social Connector 2013"

It removed it. At least I cant see it.

Answer 4

I suspect this is an Add-In. Here's how to disable add-ins in Outlook 2013:

To access the Outlook add-ins management window, open Outlook and go to File -> Options (for Outlook 2013) and go the Add-ins section.

You can’t remove Outlook add-ins directly here, but you can remove them by clicking on the “Go” button located after the “Manage COM Add-ins” text. This will popup a new window which will show all add-ins (enabled and disabled).

Here you can locate the desired add-in and remove it from Outlook. You can remove the Outlook add-in either by un-checking its check-box or by selecting it and clicking on the Remove button.

Attention: if you remove an Outlook add-in using the Remove button, the add-in will be removed completely from the list of available Outlook add-ins. If you later decide to enable it back, it may be tricky to find its library file.

It is important to know that, if you remove Outlook add-ins using this method, the add-ins are not actually deleted from your computer: they are only removed from the list of available Outlook add-ins. They will not load in Outlook anymore, but their add-in files are not erased from your computer.
