Create Your Own Group
What is an Outlook Group?
An Outlook group is a shared workspace where members can collaborate by sharing emails, files, and a shared calendar. This can be particularly useful for project teams, departments, or committees that need streamlined communication.
Why Create an Outlook Group?
1. Centralized Communication: All group related emails are sotred in one shared inbox, reducing the need for multiple email threads.
2. Efficient Collaboration: Members can share files and work on them collectively within the group.
3. Organized Scheduling: A shared calendar ensures that all members stay updated on imporant events and deadlines.
4. Accessibility: Groups can be accessed from Outlook on desktop, web, or mobile devices, ensuring members stay connected.
