Modified on: Wed, Sep 27 2023 10:08 AM- Open Outlook
Launch the Outlook application on your computer.
- Go to the Contacts Section
In the navigation pane on the left, click on "People" or "Contacts" (the label may vary depending on your Outlook version).
- Switch to the Home Tab
In the ribbon at the top of the Outlook window, make sure you're on the "Home" tab.
- Select "New Contact Group"
In the "New" group on the Home tab, click on "New Contact Group" or "New Contact List" (the exact label may vary).
- Enter a Name for the Group
In the "Contact Group" or "Contact List" dialog box that appears, give your group a name in the "Name" field.
- Add Members
To add members to the group, click on the "Add Members" button.
You can add members from your Outlook contacts, the Global Address List (if you're connected to an Exchange server), or by entering email addresses manually.
Select the members you want to add and click "Members" to add them to the group.
Click "OK" when you've added all the members you want.
- Save the Group
- After adding members, click the "Save & Close" button to save your new group.
- Your contact group is now created and saved in your Contacts folder. You can send emails or schedule meetings with this group, and it will send messages to all members of the group.
Please note that the steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Outlook, but the general process for creating a group should be similar. If you're using Outlook on the web (Outlook.com or Office 365), the process for creating a group will be different, and you may need to use the "People" or "Groups" feature in the online interface.
