Editor’s note 6/2/2016:
Post was updated to reflect that SharePoint replaced OneDrive for Business.
In Outlook Web App: Find your existing group calendar by going into the Outlook Web App and clicking on the name of the group that you want to share a calendar with. Once the group has been selected, click on 'Calendar' on the navigation menu. These calendars are automatically created when groups are created.
Group Calendar App For Mac 2017
Last year, we introduced a new cross-suite service for Office 365 commercial and education customers called Office 365 Groups, which enables people to create public or private groups. The first apps to take advantage of the Office 365 Groups service include Outlook, SharePoint, OneNote, Skype for Business, Power BI and Dynamics CRM. Yammer, Delve and Planner will also soon take advantage of this service.
Along with today’s launch of Office 2016, we’re introducing Groups in Outlook 2016 and a new mobile app called Outlook Groups. These new capabilities offer a better way to get work done with others and offer a number of benefits compared to traditional distribution lists.
In Outlook 2016, creating a group is easy and new colleagues can also join existing groups and quickly get up to speed. Each member of a group can participate in conversations, schedule meetings, share files and notes and even initiate a Skype for Business voice and video call for urgent real-time decisions. Learn more about Outlook 2016 and its new Groups features here.
With the new Outlook Groups mobile app for Windows Phone, iOS and Android, you can now engage with your group on your phone while on the go—continue conversations, view files, @mention colleagues and even discover other relevant groups. You can learn more about the Outlook Groups app here—we’d love to hear what you think, so please submit a review.
Group conversations in Outlook 2016 and in the Outlook Groups mobile app.
If your organization already has Office 365, download Office 2016 to get the newest version of Outlook for your Windows PC, and download the Outlook Groups app on your phone today. Please keep your input coming as we continue to help teams work more effectively together across Office 365 and beyond.
