Dark Mode for Microsoft Web added to Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Although, the roadmap listing does not reveal details about how the feature can be used. Another thing to notice is that Microsoft mars the general availability of the feature for May 2022, which either means that the feature will be rolled out immediately as the month is about to end or it could mean that the feature will be delayed. As of now, some of Microsoft's Office apps have received a dark mode. 

Microsoft Word for Web is a part of a Microsoft 365 subscription that allows users to use the platform in the form of a web application. In a way, it is like Google Docs, but with the features and controls, Microsoft provides in the Word application. To access Word for Web, users have to sign in or create an account on Microsoft 365 on the official website of the application.
