Did you know you can bundle any set of contacts into a single group and send a message to everyone with just one address? It’s a huge time‑saver and eliminates the risk of forgetting a recipient.
How to create a group - Desktop (Outlook 365)
- Switch to People (the icon at the bottom of the navigation pane).
- Click New Contact Group (or New → Contact Group).
- Give the group a clear name.
- Click Add Members, choose From Outlook Contacts or From Address Book, select the people you want, then click OK.
- Click Save & Close.
How to create a group - Web (Outlook.com / Outlook on the web)
- Open People, then click New contact list (or New → Contact List).
- Name the list, click Add Members, pick contacts from your address book or type new email addresses, then hit Create.
Why it’s so handy: One click in the To field expands the whole group, keeping your message tidy and ensuring everyone gets the same info instantly. Updating a group is as easy as editing the list with no need to rewrite dozens of addresses.
Give it a try next time you need to reach a project team, club, or family list!
