Outlook Contact Group - Distribution List - Schedule a Meeting Trick - Huge Timesaver

[@DanaJones-b9d]

Really appreciate your videos. I sent a calendar invite to an Outlook contact group. One of those members had a "busy" banner during that time; however, we needed the group to meet during that time, so I sent the calendar invite to the group anyway. The one member who was marked as busy is the only member not on the calendar invite. Did Microsoft automatically omit him because he is/was busy? I can't think of any other reason, nor can I find anything online for why this member is not on the invite. Thank you for your feedback!!

How can I do a group contact that everyone in my pod can use.

Can we share the meeting invite to a DL

[@sandrakerrigan657]

I created a meeting with no trouble, however, I'm having issues finding a way to edit/move the meeting. It's like I didn't create the meeting? But I did. It says I accepted on my behalf. So strange.

Sandra, can you elaborate on this? Why can't the meeting be moved? If you open the meeting, and pick a different date, and send update, does it not move the meeting? Thanks.

Hi Great video, very helpful. I have a question. If I create a contact group and send meeting invites but don't want everyone in the contact group to be able to see each other( like bcc), how can I do that?

[@RonnieSaini]

Very helpful!! Question: Do the new members who are added to the Contact Group get the reoccurring meeting invites that were previously created/sent?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

No. If you had someone to the Contact Group, you would need to send them the recurring meeting invite.

[@yanjae310]

@@ChrisMenardTraining Is there a way to automate this?

[@nancyvogel1406]

Great tip. Thank you. Can you tell me how to permanently delete an attendee from an existing calendar invite? Is there a way to add an attendee without informing the others in the group? Last questions, I have to send a meeting calendar invite using a contact list of 70+ names, is Outlook the best way to schedule this meeting?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Hello, Nancy. In Outlook, you can open the meeting, add someone by typing in their email and when you click Send Update, Outlook will ask if you only want to send to the person you added or everyone? Select just the person you added. The same applies for removing someone from a recurring meeting. Finally, yes to sending an invite out to the 70 people. That should not be an issue.

Interesting: outlook has Groups and Contact Groups and those are not the same things.

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Correct. Leave it to Microsoft to confuse their users.

[@YouTubist666]

I wasted 10-15 minutes trying to define a contact group; this "contact" vs "contact group" was part of the cause. Their interface is crap.

Why do your examples only have like 5 people you are choosing from. Real life had 2000 people to find and choose.
